Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Identify the attribute of the subject from the given sentence:
    Ms. Dsouza, the teacher, was very upset with the class.
    Solution

    The word or phrase which qualifies the subject is called its attribute. Here "the teacher" qualifies "Mr. Dsouza", hence Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not qualify the subject, hence incorrect. 

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the attribute of the subject from the given sentence:
    The young nurse got pretty scared when the patient started screaming.
    Solution
    The word or phrase which qualifies the subject is called its attribute. Here "young" qualifies "nurse", hence Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not qualify the subject, hence incorrect. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Select the subject attribute in the following sentence:
    Children prefer watching television to playing outdoors.
    Solution
    The subject of a sentence is often modified by an adjective, or a word or words that function as an adjective. They are called enlargement or attributes.
    In the given sentence, the subject is "Children", followed by a verb "prefer". The object is "watching television" as it is 'preferred'. None of these options attribute the subject, hence this sentence does not have a subject attribute and option D is correct. Hence, options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Choose the option which best expresses the meaning of the given phrase.
    An apple of discord.
    Solution
    Choice B is correct as it means the reason for quarrel according to Greek mythology. Choice A is wrong as 'discord' means 'quarrel' and not 'wealth'. Choice C is wrong as 'discord' does not mean 'happiness' Choice D is wrong as 'discord' does not mean illness.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Complete the following sentence with a commonly used noun from the options given below:
    The little child would have drowned but for the lifeguard, who came in at the ___________ of time. 
    Solution
    The given sentence means that" 'The little child would have drowned. However, he or she did not because the lifeguard came in just in time and saved the child". 
    The phrase, 'nick of time' means 'at the last moment' or 'just in time'.  The word, 'nick' meaningfully fills the blank as it conveys that the lifeguard came in just in time. Hence, option C is correct.
    The word, 'ring' is a noun, which refers to a circular object. It is also a verb which means 'make a sound'. Another meaning of the verb is 'surround (someone or something), especially for protection or containment'. Given these meanings, the word, 'ring' does not fill the blank meaningfully. Hence, option A is incorrect. 
    The phrase, 'right of time' conveys no meaning. A more meaningful phrase using the word 'right' would be '... the lifeguard who came in at the right time'. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect as option C is the correct answer. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct option to complete the phrase:
    It is hard to live in Rome and _____ with the pope. 
    Solution
    The Pope is the most powerful person in the city of Rome, in Italy. 'To live in Rome and fight with the Pope' is a popular phrase which means 'to go to a person's stronghold and fight him'. The given sentence tells us that it is very tough to live in a place and fight a person, who is very powerful in that territory. 
    The other words, 'dance', 'sing' and 'swim' are not the correct verbs to complete the phrase. Hence, options B, C and D are incorrect. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct option to complete the proverb:
    Cut your coat according ______.
    Solution
    The proverb, 'Cut your coat according to your cloth' means 'Undertake only what you have the money or ability to do and no more'. A person who cuts for a coat without considering the available cloth could end up wasting the cloth. This proverb instructs one to live within his/ her means and resources. Hence, the phrase, 'to your cloth' as given in option D is the correct answer.
    The other phrases given in options A, B and C do not complete the proverb. Hence, these options are incorrect. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct option to complete the proverb :
    Diamond cuts ___________.
    Solution
    Diamond is the one of the hardest substance known. It can be cut only another diamond. The proverb, 'Diamond cuts diamond' refers to opponents who are an equal match in wit, cunning or strong-mindedness. 
    Given the above meaning, the word, 'diamond' in option B is the correct answer. 
    The other words given in options A, C and D do not complete the proverb. Hence, these options are incorrect. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank from the given alternatives.
    There is no reason __________ over spilled milk.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the sentence(s) containing an adverb phrase: [Advanced]
    Solution
    An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb.
    Option C is correct. The phrase "over the sea" tells us where the fishermen went sailing. That is, it modifies the verb "sailing" and thus is an adverb phrase.
    Options A and D are incorrect. In A, the phrase "from shower steam" is not an adverb phrase as it does not modify the verb "swollen". Rather, the sentence contains a prepositional phrase that acts as an adjective. The prepositional phrase, "on the bathroom floor" modifies the noun "book". In D, the prepositional phrase is "with his hammer" where the preposition is "with". the object is "hammer" and "his" is a modifier of that object.
    Option B is incorrect. There is no phrase that modifies the verb "smash". Rather, the sentence contains an infinitive phrase: to smash the spider
