Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
A: I've got a terrible cold.
B: You ________ .

A
better go to bed

B
had better not go to a doctor

C
must go out

D
need to work harder

Solution

Before choosing any option, we need to examine all of them within the context given. Here, the context indicates that one has a terrible cold.
So, option A gives the only sensible advice of 'go to bed'. This indicates that one should take some rest and concurs with the context.
Option B is incorrect as it advises not to go to a doctor when one is sick. This does not make sense.
Option C is incorrect as it advises to go out.
Option D advises to work harder when one is sick.
Thus, only option A is correct.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The last drop makes ________.

A
both ends meet

B
the cat out of the bag

C
a horse laugh

D
the cup run over

E
a cat laugh

Solution

Option D is the correct answer because 'the last drop makes the cup run over' means that everyone has a breaking point or a limit. It describes the seemingly minor or routine action that causes an unpredictably large and sudden reaction, because of the cumulative effect of small actions.
Options A, B, C and E are incorrect because none of these would complete the idiom correctly.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
"While there is ______ there is hope."

A
will

B
wish

C
love

D
life

E
water

Solution

Option D is the correct answer because 'while there is life there is hope' means that as long as you are alive, you should be hopeful, because it is possible that your situation will improve.
Options A, B, C and E are incorrect because none of these would complete the idiom correctly.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
"Better face a danger than be always in _______."

A
favor

B
moon

C
fear

D
fire

E
flight

Solution

Option C is the correct answer because the idiom 'better face a danger than be always in fear' means that it is better to face what one is afraid of than to always live in fear.
Options A, B, D and E are incorrect because none of these would complete the idiom correctly.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
_________, I wouldn't have told you.

A
If it was a piece of bad news

B
If I failed the driving test

C
If you were dismissed

D
If I'd known you were going to be upset

Solution

Since the sentence implies an outcome that was undesirable, the rest of the sentence should express the condition that made the outcome unpleasant. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not fit this description, hence, incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
How ________ to the station from here?

A
to going

B
do you go

C
do one go

D
go we

Solution

Since the question is addressed to someone and is about an activity that occurs regularly, simple present tense in second person singular must be used. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

The million-dollar purchase of the small startup proved a bridge _____ far for the social media company, as the added revenue couldn't make up for the cost in the end.

A
very

B
so much

C
too

D
or

Solution

The phrase 'a bridge too far' means an act or plan whose ambition overreaches its capability, resulting in or potentially leading to difficulty or failure.
Hence, Option C is correct and the others cancel out.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A man's best friend is his _______.

A
shirt

B
bag

C
dog

D
house

E
money

Solution

Option C is the correct answer because the correct idiom is 'a man's best friend is his dog'. It refers to animals that are of use to human beings, mostly used to address dogs. The loyalty and valuable services that dogs provide to human beings make them worthy of being called man’s best friend.
Options A, B, D and E are incorrect because none of these would complete the idiom correctly.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

The test was ____ difficult for me. I'm worried.

A
so

B
too

C
much

D
very

Solution

We often confuse the two adverbs- 'very' and 'too'. Both these words sit before adjectives or adverbs and consequently modify them. However, “very” does not have a negative meaning, while “too” does. So, if I say the test was 'very' difficult, it can be assumed that the test was challenging, but I still managed to do it. In contrast, if I say, the test was 'too' difficult, it feels that I'm worried that I may fail. So, in this case Option B is correct and Option D is wrong.
Options A is incorrect as 'so' usually completes itself with a subordinate clause structure beginning with 'that'.
Option C is incorrect as 'much' doesn't fit into this context properly.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best suitable option:

I am a peg ______ low right now, so I appreciate you coming by to cheer me up.

A
very

B
such

C
too

D
much

Solution

The phrase 'a peg too low' means dejected or in low spirits. Here, the person feels depressed and so he acknowledges the presence of a company. So, option C is correct. The other options are incorrect as the other words do not construct the phrase properly.
