Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
Explicitly stating the psychological or emotional state (happy, sad, angry, etc.) of the character is ________________.

A
a common mistake

B
a misleading detail

C
an appropriate description

D
a wise decision

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 A: 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, it's a common mistake that writers make in portraying the character. So, option A is correct.
Option B: It's not 'misleading' because the character's psychological and emotional state is true.
Option C: The description is appropriate in itself, but 'explicitly' stating it degrades the quality of the writing.
Option D: The decision cannot be 'wise', as the writing turns out dull and lifeless.
Hence options B, C and D are wrong.

Choose the best option:

A
Marketing a new brand of chocolate

B

C
Informing the public about an upcoming election

D
Announcing the implementation of a new government law

Solution

Option A: A display advertisement is not limited to text, words or characters. It has an option to include the company logo, image, customized font style and size. A new brand of chocolate would require visual representation. The reader would be more attracted to try a chocolate that looks as appealing as it tastes. Hence this option is most suitable for a display ad and option A is correct.
Option B: This option would be more suitable for a classified text ad. Job positions are better suited to text format.
Option C: An update on an upcoming election would not need a display advertisement. A text ad would better suit the requirements here.
Option D: An announcement of this kind too would not require visual appeal in the form of a display ad.
Hence, options B, C and D are wrong.

Solution

Option C: A display advertisement is not limited to text, words or characters. It has an option to include the company logo, image, customized font style and size. For example, to promote a bakery product, the reader would be more attracted to try a new pastry that looks as appealing as it tastes.
Hence, option C is correct.
Options A, B and D: These options do not serve the true purpose of a display ad. Hence options A, B and D are wrong.

Fill in the blank by choosing the best option for [5]:

A

C
Undersigned

D
None of these

Solution

A notice ends with the designation of the person signing off. Hence, blank 5 must be filled with the designation of the person, Naresh Sharma.
Option B: 'President' is a designation, it indicates the position of the person who has written the notice, in relation to the society. Hence B is the correct option.
Option A: 'New Delhi' is a city, the notice does not end with the location, but the title or authority with which the person writes. Hence A is incorrect.
Option C: This term 'undersigned' is used as a declaration in important documents. (For example: I, the undersigned, agree to the terms and conditions.) It is not used at the end of a notice. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in B.

Option C follows the Day/Month/Year (01/March/20XX) format. Hence C is the correct option.

Option B is incorrect because the year is not mentioned.
Option D is incorrect because the format is in Month/Day/Year format, which is an American format.
