Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Rearrange the given phrases to make a meaningful sentence and select the correct option:
P. a great escape in the rain
Q. a greenhouse like
R. indoor space that is
S. is Sony Plaza,
T. another good spot

A
T-S-Q-R-P

B
P-S-T-Q-R

C
P-Q-R-S-T

D
T-S-P-Q-R

Solution

The subject usually goes before the verb. The object usually goes after the verb. The subject can be expanded by using an adjectival phrase, like "Another good spot". The verb is "is". The object is "Sony Plaza".It is modified by an adjective phrase "a greenhouse like indoor space" and an subordinate clause, "that is a great escape in the rain". Therefore, the full sentence is, "Another good spot is Sony Plaza, a greenhouse like indoor space that is a great escape in the rain." Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the most appropriate option to replace the underlined clause:
Riya was heartbroken when her mother gave away her kittens.

A
Riya had a heart attack

B
Riya was very sad

C
Riya had a heartache

D
Riya broke away

Solution

An idiomatic expression is a type of informal English where the meaning of the expression is different than the literal meaning of the expression.
The underlined words "Riya was heartbroken" form an idiomatic expression. Her heart did not literally break, but 'heartbroken' means 'to suffer from emotional grief'.
Option B: This option gives the correct meaning of the idiomatic expression (grief means sadness), hence B is correct.
Option A: This meaning is different from the meaning of the idiom (she was affected emotionally, her heart did not suffer from an attack). Hence A is incorrect.
Similarly, the words 'heartache' and 'broke away' do not refer to the emotional pain that Riya had gone through ('heartache' is used in romantic relationships and 'broke away' is an idiom itself that refers to 'escaping from physical restraint). Hence options C and D are incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the most suitable option:
Raj: I know that this is the third time Shiv has been caught stealing. But I still think he's an honest guy.
Ravi: Wow! You really wear rose-coloured glasses.
What does Ravi mean?

A
Raj doesn't see very well.

B
Raj is overly optimistic.

C
Raj likes red sunglasses.

D
Raj is pessimistic.

Solution

'Idiomatic expressions are a type of informal English that have a meaning different from the meaning of the words in the expression.'
In the given sentence, spoken by Ravi, "You really wear rose-coloured glasses." is an idiomatic expression.
It means that the person, Raj, notices only the good things about others, and hence, his view is unrealistic.
Option B: This option gives the correct meaning of the idiom, that Raj is more optimistic than he should be. Hence option B is correct.
Options A and C: These options do not give the meaning of the idiomatic expression. They state literal meanings of the idiom, meanings which are not quite relevant.
Option D: 'Raj is pessimistic' is the opposite of the correct meaning, that he is optimistic.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the best option to complete the sentence:
Saleem is really ambitious. He wants to reach for the _____!

A
stars

B
sun

C
clouds

D
roof

Solution

An idiomatic expression is a type of informal English where the meaning of the expression is different than the literal meaning of the expression.
Option A: After placing the word 'stars' in the blank, the phrase formed 'reach for the stars' is an idiom; it means 'to set one's goals or ambitions very high', as high as the stars. It relates to the sentence: He is really ambitious. Hence option A is correct.
The words sun, clouds and roof, each do not form an idiom when placed in the blank. Nor do they provide the required meaning, which is expressed by the idiom with 'stars'. The meanings formed are quite literal and irrelevant. Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Arrange the given phrases to form a complete and meaningful sentence:
P) I would not
Q) have accepted it
R) had I known
S) the job earlier,
T) the nature of

A
P T S Q R

B
R T S P Q

C
P R S T Q

D
P Q R S T

Solution

The type 3 conditional refers to an impossible condition in the past and its probable result in the past. These sentences are truly hypothetical and unreal, because it is now too late for the condition or its result to exist. There is always some implication of regret with type 3 conditional sentences. The reality is the opposite of, or contrary to, what the sentence expresses. In type 3 conditional sentences, the time is the past and the situation is hypothetical. The sentences in this case start with "had" to express condition, like "had I known". The full sentence is " Had I known the nature of the job earlier, I would not have accepted it". Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the best option to complete the conversation.
Jayati: Oops! Did I say, Meghalaya is in Assam? That was _______.

A
on the tip of my tongue

B
a tongue lashing

C
a slip of the tongue

D
so forked tongue

Solution

The expression, 'Oops! Did I say, Meghalaya is in Assam?' tells us that Jayati realises that what she said is incorrect. Her next sentence, 'That was ___' would convey, 'That was a mistake'. The expression, 'slip of the tongue' means 'a minor mistake in writing or speech'. Given this meaning, this expression meaningfully completes the given sentence. Hence, option C is correct.

The expression, 'on the tip of one's tongue' means 'almost but not quite brought to mind or spoken'. It means that you think you know something and that you will be able to remember it very soon; however, at the moment, you are unable to recall it'. The expression, 'tongue lashing' means 'a loud or severe scolding'. The expression, 'forked tongue' means 'to tell lies or say one thing and mean something else'. Given these meanings, the expressions in options A, B and D do not meaningfully complete the given conversation. Hence, options A, B and D are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the most appropriate option to replace the underlined phrase.
I got so scared when Tina had a blackout! I immediately called the ambulance.

A
Tina suddenly fainted

B
Tina had a power cut

C
Tina switched off the lights

D
Tina ran out of black colour

Solution

The underlined sentence means 'Tina lost consciousness'. Thus, the answer must have a similar meaning.
Option A is correct. It means 'Tina lost consciousness'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.
Option B is incorrect. It means 'Tina's electricity went out'. Thus it does not have the required meaning.
Option C is incorrect. It also does not have the required meaning as Tina did not switch off the lights.
Option D is incorrect. It does not have the required meaning. Thus, it is incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Arrange the jumbled words appropriately to form a meaningful sentence.
Vinay $$|$$ the postmaster $$|$$ for $$|$$ some $$|$$ money $$|$$ collected.

A
Vinay collected for the postmaster some money.

B
Some money collected the postmaster for vinay.

C
Vinay collected some money the postmaster for.

D
The postmaster collected some money for Vinay.

Solution

The structure of an assertive sentence should be article+ subject + verb+ adjective+ direct object+prepositional phrase+ indirect phrase. Hence Option D, that is, "The postmaster collected some money for Vinay." is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the word(s) which has the same meaning and can be used in the same context as the italicized word/phrase in both the given sentences.
I. The document was declared void by the court.
II. I felt pity for the sickly person lying on the pavement.

A
useless

B
defective

C
invalid

D
destitute

E
feeble

Solution

The best fit for both the sentences is Option C, 'Invalid'. We use invalid if we want to say that any document is invalid i.e. legally not acceptable, like in sentence 1. We also use invalid for a person who has been sick for a long time and unable to take care of himself , the context of the second sentence. Option A 'Useless' means which is of no use. Option B 'Defective' means faulty. Both of these options A and B cannot be used for the second sentence. Option D 'destitute' means extremely poor or penniless person . Option 'feeble' means weak or delicate. These two options, D and E, do not fit in sentence 1. Thus, best fit for both sentences is 'Invalid', Option C.
Question 10
1 / -0

Select the most appropriate word for the given descriptions or underlined words:
The education in gurukul comprised mainly of telling the stories of old time Gods or heroes.

A
Ode

B
Epic

C
Allegory

D
Legend

Solution

'Ode' is a lyrical poem written in varied or irregular metre. 'Epic' is a long poem, typically one derived from ancient oral tradition, narrating the deeds and adventures of heroic or legendary figures or the past history of a nation.
As the underlined phrase refers to stories, options A and B (which are words describing poems) are incorrect.
'Allegory' is a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one. The given sentence talks about the stories of old-time Gods or heroes. It doesn't talk about moral or political meanings hidden in the stories. Hence, option C is incorrect.
'Legend' is a very old story or set of stories from ancient times, or fictional stories, that people tell about a famous event or person. This word can most appropriately describe the underlined phrase as it refers to a story about ancient Gods or heroes. Hence, option D is correct.
