Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Select the noun phrase from the given sentence:
    The blue house caught fire.
    Solution
    A phrase is a group of words which makes a clause without using a subject and a verb. Option B)the blue house is correct as house is a noun here which has an adjective (blue) as a pre-modifier with the determiner the. The other options are wrong as The blue, caught, and fire do not consist of a noun. The correct answer is B)the blue house.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Pick out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
    I live in an old, tattered hut.
    Solution
    A noun phrase is a group of words containing a noun, and functions as a subject, object or object of preposition. In the given sentence, "old, tattered hut" is a phrase that contains two adjectives that modify the noun "hut"; hence it's a noun phrase and option D is correct. "I live" is a clause as it's made up of a subject and verb. Hence it's not a noun phrase and option A is incorrect. "Live" is a verb, it's not a noun phrase, hence option B is incorrect. "In an" is a prepositional phrase, not a noun phrase, hence option C is incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Which word/phrase is the subjective complement in the following statement?
    Your package has been damaged.
    Solution
    A subject complement is an adjective, a noun or any phrase that follows a linking verb and gives more information about the subject. In the given sentence, "damaged" is an adjective that gives information about the condition of the subject, "Your package". Note that the word, "damaged' follows the linking verb, "has been". Hence option C is correct and A is incorrect because it's the subject itself. "Has been" is a verb, "has" being an auxiliary and "been" being the main verb, hence option B is incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the right answer is C.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Which word/phrase is the subjective complement in the following statement?
    The soup tastes sweet.
    Solution
    A subject complement is an adjective, a noun or a phrase that follows a linking verb and gives more information about the subject.
    In the given sentence, "sweet" is an adjective that complements the noun in the subject "soup", hence option C is correct. "The soup" is the subject itself and "tastes" is the verb. Therefore they cannot function as subject complements and options A and B are incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the correct option lies in C.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Pick out the subject attribute in the following sentence:
    Simon Samuels, the financial advisor, was caught laundering money for a drug lord.
    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 phrase "the financial advisor" is a noun in apposition. (When two nouns or noun phrases are placed side by side, one gives information about the other.) It also functions as an adjective, as it modifies the subject (Simon Samuels). Hence it is the attribute and option B is correct. Since option A is the subject itself, it is incorrect. "Was caught" is the verb here which cannot function as an attribute, hence option C is incorrect. "For a drug lord" is a fragment of the noun phrase "laundering money for a drug lord", which functions as the object. Hence it is a fragment of the object, so it cannot be an attribute and option D is incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Pick out the options that are true in relation to the given sentence:
    Dogs bark and howl in the middle of the night, every night.
    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.
    From the options, "Dogs" is the subject that performs the action "bark and howl", hence option A is incorrect. "Bark and howl" is the compound verb, and "in the middle of the night" is an adverbial phrase which modifies the verb, not the subject. Hence options B and C are also incorrect. Since the sentence does not have any other words that can qualify the subject, option D is correct. (Every night is an adverb phrase that modifies the verb.)
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Pick out the subject attribute in the following sentence:
    White roses are my favourite.
    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, "White" is an adjective that modifies the subject "roses", hence it's an attribute and option A is correct. "Roses" is the subject, it cannot attribute itself; "Are" is the verb and "my favourite" is the object, hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Which word/phrase is the subjective complement in the following statement?
    Gordon Ramsay is an amazing chef.
    Solution
    A subject complement is an adjective, a noun or a pronoun that follows a linking verb and gives more information about the subject.
    In the given sentence, the noun phrase "an amazing chef" describes the subject "Garden Ramsay" and it follows the linking verb-'is'. Hence it is the subject complement and option C is correct. The subject cannot complement itself, hence option A is incorrect. "Is" is a verb, hence option B is incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the correct answer lies in option C.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the options that are true in relation to the given sentence:
    The withered leaves will fall during spring, making way for new leaves.
    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.
    From the options, the article "the" and adjective "withered" both modify the subject, "leaves", hence they're the attributes and option A is correct. "Will fall" is a verb in the future tense, which cannot function as an attribute. "Leaves" is the subject itself, hence options B and C are incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the correct answer lies in option A.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Which word/phrase is the subjective complement in the following statement?
    The thief ran.
    Solution
    A subject complement is an adjective, a noun or any phrase that follows a linking verb and gives more information about the subject.
    In the given sentence, "the" is an article, "thief" is a noun that performs as the subject and "ran" is the verb. None of these perform as the subject complement, hence options A, B and C are incorrect. Because this sentence does not have a subject complement, option D is correct.
