Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to complete the proverb:
The grass is always _______ on the other side.

A
dry

B
wet

C
shining

D
greener

Solution

The proverb, 'Grass is always greener on the other side' means : The thing other people have or their situations always look better than your own. But the fact is that the problems faced by those people are not always visible to us. Hence, the word, 'greener' given in option D complete the proverb.

The other words given in options A, B and C do not complete the proverb. Hence, these options are incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable response:
Son: Mummy, I've been selected as the best student of the school.
Mummy: _________________.

A
Thank you. You are my star

B
Well done! Congrats my son

C
You deserve it

D
Both A and C

Solution

The word, 'congrats' gives (someone) one's good wishes when something special or pleasant has happened to them. It is an encouragement as well as an acknowledgement of the good work done by someone. It also expresses happiness on the other person's success. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
In option A, in the expression, 'You are my star', the mother conveys that her son is her prized possession. However, this expression does not acknowledge or appreciate the accomplishment of her son. It moves the conversation away from the son's success and talks about the relationship between the mother and her son. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option C: The expression, 'You deserve it' means 'you have earned the award because of the way your hard work/the qualities you have'. This is also an acknowledgement of the success of her son. However, it does not express the emotion of joy or happiness shared with the son, upon his success. Hence, this is not the most appropriate expression and option C is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect as both options A and C are incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the best answer from the options given below:
You are Brian. You got a table reserved at a restaurant telephonically. On reaching the place you will say "____________"

A
You must have reserved a table in the name of Brian.

B
Good evening. My name is Brian. I have a reservation.

C
I had telephoned to reserve a table. Is it done?

D
Where is my reserved table?

Solution

When we reach a restaurant where we have made a reservation for a table telephonically, we would first greet the staff at the restaurant politely. Then we would introduce ourselves (because the people at the restaurant would not know us). Then we would state that we have a reservation. In option B, the speaker politely greets the person at the restaurant with the phrase, 'Good evening'. Then he introduces himself with the sentence, 'My name is Brian'. Then he states that he has a reservation. Option B communicates the best response.
In options A, C and D, the speaker does not greet the person at the restaurant or introduce himself first. Without the introduction, the listener may not know who the speaker is and may not be able to respond correctly. Hence, these are not appropriate answers and options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to complete the proverb :
The grass is always _______ on the other side.

A
dry

B
wet

C
shining

D
greener

Solution

The proverb, 'The grass is always greener on the other side' means: 'People are never satisfied with their own situation. They always think that other people's lives or situations are better than their own'. The word, 'greener' is the correct word which can complete the proverb. Hence, option D is correct.
Options A, B and C are incorrect as the words in these options cannot complete the given proverb.
Question 5

Correct option for blank (1) is ____.

A
done

B
held

C
given

D
made

Solution

From the options, the verb 'held' means 'to arrange and take part in'; it is relevant to the line "competition which was ___ last week" as a competition is arranged, taken part in (or held). Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Done' means to perform an action, for example, 'I have done all the necessary work.' It is not used for a competition, because a competition cannot be 'done'. Hence A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Given' means 'to transfer the possession (of something) to someone'. For example, 'The toys have been given to the children.' A competition cannot be given, it is not something that can be possessed or transferred. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Made' means 'something that is created, parts that are combined to make a whole'. For example, 'A cake is made with flour, butter, eggs and sugar.' A competition cannot be 'made', it is not the right word used. Hence D is incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the best answer from the options given below:
Ishu : "What are you upset about?"
Ashu : "About the things you said."
Ishu : "Is it something I should apologise for?"
Ashu : "____________"

A
It certainly is.

B
What else could it be?

C
Think of what you said.

D
I'll never talk to you.

Solution

Through the expression in option A, Ashu is clearly conveying her views. She thinks that Ishu has made a mistake and needs to apologise. Hence, option A is correct.
In options B and C, Ishu's question is not being clearly answered. In these two expressions, Ashu does not clearly communicate whether she thinks Ishu has to apologise or not. As the response is vague, it is not appropriate and options B and C are incorrect.
In option D, Ashu avoids answering Ishu's question. By saying, 'I'll never talk to you', Ashu is shutting doors for any further conversation. Hence, this is not an appropriate response. Option D is incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to complete the proverb:
There is no rose without a _________.

A
thorn

B
pot

C
gardener

D
petal

Solution

The proverb, 'There is no rose without a thorn', means: 'Every apparently desirable situation has its share of trouble or difficulty. So, one has to take the bad along with anything good'. Hence, the word, 'thorn' given in option A completes the proverb.

The other words given in options B, C and D do not complete the proverb. Hence, these options are incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to complete the proverb:
Excess of everything is ___________.

A
great

B
bad

C
progressive

D
success
Question 9
1 / -0

Reorder the given phrases to make a meaningful sentence and select the correct option:
P. back to basics
Q. in and around
R. yoga centres have opened
S. a dozen
T. the city in recent years

A
Q-S-R-P-T

B
S-P-R-Q-T

C
P-R-S-Q-T

D
P-Q-R-S-T

Solution

The correct answer is Option B.
We are to choose the correct arrangement of phrases that makes a grammatically correct sentence.
'A DOZEN BACK TO BASICS YOGA CENTRES HAVE OPENED IN AND AROUND THE CITY IN RECENT YEARS' is the correct sentence that is formed.
Hence the correct arrangement is S-P-R-Q-T and Option B is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the best option to complete the given sentence:

The retired cricket player's new book sold like hot ________. He's still quite famous!

A
bread

B
cakes

C
buns

D
pies

Solution

Idiomatic expressions are a type of informal English that have a meaning different from the literal meaning of the words in the expression.
Option B: 'Cakes' forms an idiomatic expression in the given sentence: "sold like hot cakes".
This expression means 'to sell something easily and in large quantities'. The sentence is thus, complete in meaning: The retired cricket player's new book sold very easily.
So, option B is the most suitable option here.
'Bread', 'buns' and 'pies' do not form idiomatic expressions. As a result, the meanings formed are literal. Also, the meaning formed (in each case) is ambiguous. Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
