Question 6
1 / -0

Pick out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
Both the thieves have fled with the jewels.

A
Both the thieves

B
thieves

C
have fled

D
with the jewels

Solution

A noun phrase is a group of words containing a noun and functioning as a subject, object or object of preposition. A noun phrase is often the noun or pronoun itself. "Both the thieves" is a noun phrase because it contains a quantifier "both" that modifies the noun "thieves"; also, it is the subject of the given sentence. Hence option A is correct. "Thieves" is a noun, but it's a part of the noun phrase which is complete only with the quantifier. Hence "thieves" isn't the subject here, it isn't a noun phrase and option B is incorrect. "Have fled" is a verb phrase, made up of the helping verb "have" that determines the tense of a sentence, and the main verb "fled". It isn't a noun phrase and hence option C is incorrect. "With the jewels" is a prepositional phrase containing the preposition "with"; it's not a noun phrase and hence option D is incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the word/phrase that is the adverbial qualification/extension in the predicate:
All the cousins have gone to shop.

A
All

B
the cousins

C
have gone

D
to shop

Solution

The part of a sentence excluding the subject is the predicate. The verb in the predicate is often modified by an adverb or its equivalent, known as the adverbial qualification in that predicate.
In the given sentence, "to shop" is an infinitive; infinitives can modify verbs, hence performing as adverbs. Here it modifies the verb " have gone"; hence it is an adverbial qualification and option D is correct. "All" is a determiner that modifies the subject "the cousins" and "have gone" is the verb, where "have" is an auxiliary verb and "gone" is the main verb. Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
We are looking for a man with a gun.

A
We are

B
are looking

C
for a man

D
a man with a gun

Solution

A phrase is a group of words which makes a clause without using a subject and a verb. Option D)a man with a gun is correct as man is a noun here and with a gun is a prepositional phrase functioning as a post modifier. The other options are wrong as a noun phrase cannot have a subject, a verb, or a phrasal verb(looking for). The correct answer is D)a man with a gun.
Question 9
1 / -0

Pick out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
How I would love a slice of nice fresh pound cake!

A
I would love

B
slice

C
pound cake

D
slice of nice fresh pound cake

Solution

A phrase is a group of words which makes a clause without using a subject and a verb. Option D)slice of nice fresh pound cake is correct as cake is a noun here and a slice of a fresh pound function as a pre-modifier. The other options are wrong as a noun phrase cannot have a subject and must include a noun. The correct answer is D)slice of nice fresh pound cake.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the word/phrase that is the adverbial qualification/extension in the predicate:
As the soldier arrived home, his dog wagged his tail frantically.

A
As

B
the soldier

C
wagged

D
frantically

Solution

The part of a sentence excluding the subject is the predicate. The verb in the predicate is often modified by an adverb or its equivalent, known as the adverbial qualification in that predicate.
In the sentence, "frantically" is an adverb of manner, it qualifies the verb "wagged". Hence it is the adverbial qualification and option D is correct. "As" is a conjunction, it is used in complex sentences, like the one given. "The soldier" is a subject and "wagged" is a verb that is being modified. Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
