Which of the following are examples of noun phrases? (Select the best option)

A
the small and quiet village by the river

B
in an exceptionally good manner

C
brilliantly blue yet worn out

D
in the corner of the room

Solution

The phrase is the group of words in a sentence which forms a component in a clause.
Option A is a noun phrase. A noun phrase acts as a noun in the sentence which modifies a noun. It contains a noun and other associated words. Option A has 'small and quiet' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'village'.
Thus, option A is the correct answer. Rest of the options are not the best examples of a noun phrase.
Question 2
1 / -0

Identify the noun phrase(s) in the given sentence:
The glistening floor of the popular and frequently crowded ice-skating ring dazzled me as I stepped onto it with my newly bought skating shoes.

A
The glistening floor, popular and frequently crowded ice-skating ring

B
The glistening floor, dazzled me

C
my newly bought skating shoes, the popular and frequently crowded ice-skating ring

D
The glistening floor, the popular and frequently crowded ice-skating ring, my newly bought skating shoes

Solution

The phrase is the group of words in a sentence which forms a component in a clause.
Option D is a noun phrase. A noun phrase acts as a noun in the sentence which modifies a noun. It contains a noun and other associated words.
Option D has 'glistening' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'floor', 'popular and frequently crowded' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'ice-skating ring' and 'newly' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'skating shoes'.
Thus, option D is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

The girl in the red dress who is sitting beside Sally is my younger sister.

A
The girl

B

C
who is sitting beside Sally

D

Solution

The phrase is the group of words in a sentence which forms a component in a clause.
Option D is a noun phrase. A noun phrase acts as a noun in the sentence which modifies a noun. It contains a noun and other associated words. Option D has 'red dress' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'the girl'.
Thus, option D is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Identify the attribute of the subject from the given sentence:
The doubting policeman inspected the entire house.

A
Policeman

B
Doubting

C
entire

D
House

Solution

A subject must contain at least one noun in order to have an attribute.
A subject attribute is any part of speech that modifies the noun in the subject.
'The attribute of a noun may be an adjective, an article, a pronoun, a participle, an infinitive or a phrase.'
Option B: From these options, 'doubting' is a present participle that means 'sceptical'. It functions as an adjective. So, it modifies or describes the noun 'policeman'.
(Present participles, which are placed before nouns, function as adjectives. So they modify the nouns that follow.)
Hence, 'doubting' is an attribute of the subject "policeman" and option B is correct.
Option A: 'Policeman' is the noun. It's the head of the subject itself and hence cannot be an attribute (also called an enlargement).
Option C: 'Entire' is an adjective that modifies the object noun 'house'. Hence, it cannot modify the subject.
Option D: 'House' is a noun that functions as the object of the sentence. Hence it cannot be an attribute of a subject.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Identify the subject attribute in the given sentence:
Barking dogs seldom bite.

A
barking

B
dogs

C
seldom

D
bite

Solution

The word or phrase which qualifies the subject is called its attribute. Here "barking" qualifies "dogs", hence Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not qualify the subject, hence incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Identify which of the following is/are noun phrase(s).

A
terribly and unspeakably wrong

B
a harsh and uncanny sound

C
within the depths of the mind

D
of a more subtle nature

Solution

The phrase is the group of words in a sentence which forms a component in a clause.
Option B is a noun phrase. A noun phrase acts as a noun in the sentence which modifies a noun. It contains a noun and other associated words. Option B has 'harsh and uncanny' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'sound'.
Thus, option B is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect ones.
Question 7
1 / -0

Complete the following proverb:
A wise enemy is better than ______.

A
A foolish relative

B
A foolish friend

C
A wise son

D
An intelligent father

Solution

The correct answer is option B.
The correct and complete proverb is A wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.'
This means that a foolish friend causes us more harm than a wise enemy would.
There is a comparison of opposites in the proverb. Thus the opposite of a wise enemy is a foolish friend.
Hence option B is the correct answer and the other options are incorrect as they do not comply with the meaning of the proverb and also are not the opposite of a wise enemy.
Question 8
1 / -0

2.________

A
Persevers

B
Persevering

C
Persevere

D
Perseverance

Solution

The sentence requires a verb synonym of "make sincere efforts", which is persevere. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence, incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

They found a world of ____________ between what he said and what he did.

A
Chaos

B
Bitterness

C
Difference

D
Hope

Solution

An idiom or idiomatic expression is a type of informal English that has a meaning different from the literal meaning of the words (in the expression).
Option C: When 'difference' is placed in the sentence, the words 'world of difference' form an idiomatic expression. It means 'a stark contrast'.
It is relevant to the sentence, as the words "between what he said and what he did" suggest. Hence C is correct.
Option A: The word 'chaos' forms a literal meaning in this sentence (it means 'confusion or disorganisation'). The meaning isn't quite clear. It does not represent the contrast between 'what he said' and 'what he did'. Hence A is incorrect.
Options B and D: Similarly, 'bitterness' and 'hope' aren't relevant to the sentence. The former means 'anger and resentment'; the latter means 'the belief that something good will happen'.
Hence B and D are also incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Out of the four choices, choose the one which can be substituted for the given sentence:
One who makes maps and charts -

A
Geologist

B
Geographer

C
Cartographer

D
Politician

Solution

A. A geologist is a scientist who studies the solid and liquid matter that constitutes the Earth as well as the processes that shape it.
B. A geographer is a scholar whose area of study is geography, the study of Earth's natural environment and human society.
C. A cartographer is a person who makes maps and charts. The practice of making maps and charts is called cartography.
D. A politician is a person who is professionally involved in politics, especially as a holder of an elected office.
Hence, the correct option is C. Cartographer
