Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Select the option that best replaces the phrase in quotes.

Many people mistake familiarity for a vulgar style, and suppose that to write without affectation 'is to write at random speed'.

A
is to write at random

B
is to write randomly

C
is to write fast

D
is to do speed writing

Solution

Option C and Option D are incorrect as the author talks about writing without affectation i.e. writing without any pretension. Hence, it can be mistaken for writing without consideration or care and not writing fast.

Between options A and B, A contains the correct phrase 'at random'. The phrase means without a care and in a disorderly manner. "Writing randomly" does not carry the same implication. Also, here the modifier 'random' is a misplaced modifier. It is modifying the way of writing instead of modifying what is written.
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the statement that expresses the idea most correctly.

A
The Dean finally agreed to see me. To talk about my financial problems.

B
The Dean finally agreed to see me, to talk about my financial problems.

C
The Dean, finally agreed to see me to talk about my financial problems.

D
The Dean finally agreed to see me to talk about my financial problems.

Solution

This sentence has only one clause. Therefore, a comma is not required.

Option D is the correct answer.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the statement that expresses the idea most correctly.

A
The professor, as well as the students, was pleased with their results.

B
The professor, as well as the students, were pleased with their results.

C
The professor as well as the students was pleased with their results.

D
The professor as well as the students were pleased with their results.

Solution

The usage of the phrase "as well as" is preceded by a comma.

In a sentence where "as well as" is used, the verb must agree with the noun before the "as well as" phrase. Here, the verb was/were refers to the noun 'professor'. As professor is singular, the correct verb to be used here is 'was'.

Hence, option A is correct.
Question 4
1 / -0

Which amongst the four alternatives given below, is the most concise and clear?

A
The dull are likely to have a limited conceptual grasp.

B
It is unlikely that the dull would have adequate conceptual grasp.

C
The dull are not likely to grasp concepts easily.

D
It is unlikely that the dull can grasp concepts easily.

Solution

The use of phrases like 'limited conceptual grasp' is unnecessary to convey the meaning of this sentence. We can rule out options a) and b). Both c) and d) convey the same meaning but c) is more concise and clear. Option c) is the correct answer.
Question 5
1 / -0

Identify the incorrect sentence or sentences

A. It was a tough situation and Manasi was taking pains to make it better.

B. Slowly her efforts gave fruit and things started improving.

C. Everyone complemented her for her good work.

D. She was very happy and thanked everyone

A
A

B
D

C
B and C

D

Solution

Sentence B should be "Her efforts bore fruit..."

The word in sentence C should be "complimented" instead of "complemented".

The correct answer choice is c).
Question 6
1 / -0

Some sentences are grammatically incorrect or inappropriate. Select the option that indicates the grammatically correct and appropriate sentence(s).

A. The balance of power will shift to the East as China and India evolve.

B. Rarely the economic ascent of two still relatively poor nations has been watched with such a mixture of awe, opportunism, and trepidation.

C. Postwar era witnessed economic miracles in Japan and South Korea, but neither was populous enough to power worldwide growth or change the game in a complete spectrum of industries.

D. China and India, by contrast, possess the weight and dynamism to transform the 21st-century global economy.

A
A,B&C

B
A&D

C
C

D
C&D

Solution

Statements B and C are incorrect.

Statement B should be "Rarely has the economic...been watched".

Statement C should be "The post war era".

Hence option b) is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Which of the following four sentence is grammatically correct?

A
Each of the students has done well.

B
Each of the student has done well.

C
Each of the students have done well.

D
Each of the student have done well.

Solution

The verb used with the word 'each' should be in the singular form. Also, the group to which 'each' refers should be a plural noun. Option a) satisfies both the criteria and it is the answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

In each of the following sentences, a part of the sentence is underlined. Beneath each sentence, four different ways of phrasing the underlined part are indicated. Choose the best alternative from among the four.

Bacon believes that the medical profession should be permitted to ease and quicken death where the end would otherwise only delay for a few days and at the cost of great pain.

A
be delayed for a few days

B
be delayed for a few days and

C
be otherwise only delayed for a few days and

D
otherwise only delay for a few days and

Solution

The context indicates that the action would be completed at some point in the future i.e. the patient will have passed away at some point in the future. Hence, the correct tense to use in this case is the future perfect tense i.e. 'would be delayed'. The sentence gives two reasons for administering quick death and hence these two reasons should be separated by the conjunction 'and'. From the context, we can infer that there will be a delay of a few days if quick death is not administered by the doctor. Hence, a negative conjunction like otherwise is needed for the sentence to make sense. Hence, option C.
Question 9
1 / -0

Many of these environmentalists proclaim to save nothing less than the planet itself.

A
to save nothing lesser than

B
that they are saving nothing lesser than

C
to save nothing less than

D
that they save nothing less than

Solution

The word proclaim should be followed by "that" and not "to". Hence, we can eliminate options A and C. The correct phrase to use in this context is "nothing less than ...". Hence, option D.
Question 10
1 / -0

If you are on a three-month software design project and, in two weeks, you've put together a programme that solves part of the problem, show it to your boss without delay

A

C
and, you've put together a programme that has solved part of the problem in two weeks

D

Solution

This sentence is correctly phrased and there is no error in either punctuation or grammar.
