Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
4 / -1

From the statements in questions choose the one that expresses the idea most correctly.

A
Either you or he have to be here.

B
Either you or he has to be here.

C
Neither you nor he have to be here.

D
Neither you nor they has to be here.

Solution

When either and neither are followed by or and nor respectively, the verb depends on the noun following or and nor. The only one consistent with this rule is sentence b where ‘has’ follows ‘he’
Question 2
4 / -1

From the statements in questions choose the one that expresses the idea most correctly.

A
When you have good health, one should feel fortunate.

B
When you have good health, you should feel fortunate.

C
When one have good health, you should feel fortunate.

D
When one has good health, he should feel fortunate.

Solution

The pronoun should remain consistent throughout the sentence. The other sentences have you with one or one with he.
Question 3
4 / -1

In each of the following questions, three or four sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), as the case may be form a meaningful paragraph/flow of thought. One of the sentences is missing shown as. You have to find out from (1), (2), (3), or (4) which sentence would best fit the missing part.

A. If Dawkins is reaching that conclusion — as Williams alleges — because of his philosophical position of naturalism (i.e., atheism), then he is in fact engaging in wishful thinking (though no more than the other side when they say that life must have originated from an act of special creation).

B. However, there is a more moderate interpretation of Dawkins’ statement;

C._____________________

D. One may not like the idea that science is limited to natural explanations, but it is hard to see what sort of experiments or testable hypotheses could possibly emerge from introducing a supernatural fiat into these matters.

A
He is just being a good scientist in accepting as a matter of methodology that the only way to find a scientific explanation for the origin of life is to tentatively assume that there is one that doesn’t include supernatural intervention.

B
As an aside, we also point out that Williams’ statement that there is “a large body of scientific evidence against” a naturalistic theory of the origin of life is simply false.

C
Usually, the irrelevancy is subtle, so that it appears relevant to those not paying close attention.

D
Once again, evolution by natural selection is not, and was never meant to be, a theory of life’s origins.

Solution

The explanation of the statement in B can be found in Option a; other options do not bear direct reference to the above sentences.

A
reports, withering

B
stories, trading

C
books, dying

D
obituaries, fading

Solution

Practices fade away & first three options don’t fit in the first blank as you don’t write reports or stories or books for tools, but obituaries.
Question 6
4 / -1

In each of the following sentences, parts of the sentence are left blank. Beneath each sentence, four different ways of completing the sentence are indicated. Choose the best alternative from among the four.

A
comes, figures

B
arises, adds

C

Looking at the second blank, attributes are combined, not added. Figure is irrelevant here. Emerges would be more appropriate in this context for the first blank
Question 7
4 / -1

Specious: A specious argument is not simply a false one but one that has the ring of truth.

A
Deceitful

B
Fallacious

A
The Company has greatly enhanced it’s advertising expense.

B
The Company has greatly increased its advertising expense.

C
The Company has greatly enhanced its advertising expense.

D
The Company has greatly increased it’s advertising expense.

Enhanced means to increase or improve the quality or value of something. The correct usage here would be increased. The contracted form its and not it’s shows the possessive form of the pronoun.
Question 9
4 / -1

There’s Mr. Abhishek, whom they say is the best singer in the country.

B
There’s Mr. Abhishek, who they say is the best singer in the country.

C
There is Mr. Abhishek, whom they say is the best singer in the country.

D
There is Mr. Abhishek who, they say is the best singer in the country.

Solution

We need to use who for the subject Mr. Abhishek. Choice d. is not correct due to the wrong placement of the comma after who.
Question 10
4 / -1

Directions For Questions

The most prosperous nation of to-day is the United States. Our unexampled wealth and well-being are directly due to the superb natural resources of our country, and to the use which has been made of them by our citizens, both in the present and in the past. We are prosperous because our forefathers bequeathed to us a land of marvellous resources still unexhausted. Shall we conserve those resources, and in our turn transmit them, still unexhausted, to our descendants? Unless we do, those who come after us will have to pay the price of misery, degradation, and failure for the progress and prosperity of our day. When the natural resources of any nation become exhausted, disaster and decay in every department of national life follow as a matter of course. Therefore the conservation of natural resources is the basis, and the only permanent basis, of national success. There are other conditions, but this one lies at the foundation. Perhaps the most striking characteristic of the American people is their superb practical optimism; that marvellous hopefulness which keeps the individual efficiently at work. This hopefulness of the American is, however, as short-sighted as it is intense. As a rule, it does not look ahead beyond the next decade or score of years, and fails wholly to reckon with the real future of the Nation. We shall reach a population of two hundred millions in the very near future, as time is counted in the lives of nations, and there is nothing more certain than that this country of ours will someday support double or triple or five times that number of prosperous people if only we can bring ourselves so to handle our natural resources in the present as not to lay an embargo on the prosperous growth of the future.

The tone and approach of the author of passage can be labeled as:

A
one demanding urgent action

Solution

In the given case, the author of the passage is demanding urgent action from his fellow Americans and policy makers with respect to their consumption of natural resources. He is not inciting thought or carrying out intense analysis, he is in fact making a demand for urgent and immediate action on a matter that concerns the future.
