Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Select the best option to fill in the blank:
    Explicitly stating the psychological or emotional state of the character _________________ .
    Solution
    "A character sketch is a description made for the purpose of guiding the writer on such assignments as introducing a particular character to the reader in such a way that both the writer and readers can have a quick overview of the character's attributes; including but not limited to physical appearance, idiosyncratic (individual) tendencies in different circumstances, state of mind as shaped by former experiences and how these will affect their future actions."
    Option B: By directly stating the psychological or emotional state of the character, we make it sound dull. We must use actions and instances to bring out how the character thinks or feels, or use imagery to display the same. Hence, doing this makes the sketch less impactful.
    So, option B is correct.
    Option A: It doesn't make the sketch interesting. Directly expressing the states of the character makes it sound dull.
    Option C: The reader would not feel engaged, because the writer does not develop the character.
    Option D: As the writer does not develop the character, it wouldn't be plot-appropriate.
    Hence option A, C and D are wrong.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
    A character sketch which is used as a short story or a narrative on its own usually lacks _____________________.
    Solution
    Option A:
    A character sketch is 'a written description of a person's qualities'.
    "Besides being an essay type that students write in composition classes, fiction authors can use character sketches in their pre-writing or drafting stages of short stories or novels as a means to develop the people who'll inhabit the world they're creating." But, character sketches are limited to the personality of that character and certain incidents that shape the character. They do not focus on the plot, but the character.
    Hence, the character sketch lacks plot or significant action and option A is correct.
    Option B: A character sketch is a detailed description of the character. Hence it cannot be lacking it, and option B is wrong.
    Option C: A character sketch may involve incidents with regards to the character.
    Option D: A character sketch that is used as a short story does require a structure, or an order under which the character builds. Without a structure, the narrative would be incomplete.
    Hence, options B, C and D are wrong.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is/are examples of display/non-classified advertisements?
    Solution
    Non-classified display ads are advertisements (in a newspaper) that do not have any limit when it comes to space, or placement. Such ads are usually by large companies or brands and have their own customized design and display, to advertise their product or service.
    Display ads can be classified or non-classified. Classified ads have a limit in terms of space and placement. In both cases, display ads are meant to be visually appealing, and attract the attention of the reader more than the worded advertisements. Hence, they cost more than classified text ads.
    Option A: Advertisements for travel agencies can be visually appealing, by including a picture of the destinations and happy students' faces. Hence it's an example of a display advertisement and option A is correct.

    Option B: A job opening ad cannot be visual. Job openings are usually advertised on a lower budget because they don't want to sell, but employ.
    Option C: The sale of old furniture is made through small-scale vendors or it can be someone's personal property on sale. Such an ad does not invest a lot in displaying the product.
    Option D: A to-let is an ad for an apartment on rent or lease. It does not require a display.
    So, these options are not display/non-classified ads
    Hence options B, C and D are wrong.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Which of the following would best be advertised through display advertisements?
    Solution
    Display ads use visuals to attract attention. They are costlier and are used for creating a brand image.
    Option C: An attractive package to an island resort would contain strong visuals to attract a crowd. Pictures of the resort, the greenery around it, or various facilities like the spa can be easily displayed to catch somebody's attention.
    Hence this type of ad would best be advertised through display advertisements, and option C is correct.
    Option A: An old phone sale would be listed as a text ad and wouldn't require a display.
    Option B: Job listings are not displayed, they use text ads. There is nothing to display in a vacancy.
    Option D: A society celebration also would not use a display ad. It's a personal event and would use a notice.
    Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Which of the following would best be advertised through display advertisements?
    Solution
    Display ads use visuals to attract attention. They are costlier and are useful for creating a brand image.
    Option D: A new brand of bike would definitely need visuals to promote their brand. When you take a newspaper in your hand these days, you are accustomed to seeing the front page with a picture of a car, or a bike.
    The brands use visuals to appeal to the readers. Hence option D is correct.
    Option A: Lottery ads are not posted as display ads, there is not much to display.
