  • 2. 

    Select the correct past tense form of "run."

    • Ran

    • Runned

    • Runs

    • Running

    Correct Answer
    A. Ran
    Explanation
    "Ran" is the correct past tense form of the verb "run." Unlike "runned" or "runs," which are either incorrect or present tense forms, "ran" represents the simple past tense used to describe an action that was completed in the past. This form adheres to the irregular verb conjugation rules in English.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What is the plural form of "mouse"?

    • Mouses

    • Mice

    • Mouse

    • Mices

    Correct Answer
    A. Mice
    Explanation
    The plural form of "mouse" is "mice." This transformation represents an irregular pluralization in English, where the word does not simply add an 's' or 'es' at the end but changes internally. "Mouses" and "mices" are incorrect because they do not follow the established grammar rules for plural nouns in English.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which sentence is correctly punctuated?

    • Where is my book?

    • Where is my book,.

    • Where is, my book?

    • Where is my book;.

    Correct Answer
    A. Where is my book?
    Explanation
    "Where is my book?" is correctly punctuated with a question mark at the end, indicating it is a question. The sentence structure is straightforward without any unnecessary punctuation like commas or semicolons, which are incorrectly used in the other options, making them grammatically incorrect for a simple inquiry.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which sentence is in the passive voice?

    • The meal was cooked by John.

    • John cooked the meal.

    • John is cooking the meal.

    • John has been cooking the meal.

    Correct Answer
    A. The meal was cooked by John.
    Explanation
    "The meal was cooked by John." is an example of passive voice construction, where the focus is on the action and the recipient rather than the doer. In passive sentences, the subject of the sentence is typically acted upon by the verb, with the doer either omitted or introduced by a preposition, in this case, "by."

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Select the correct pronoun to complete the sentence: "Neither of the students brought ___ books."

    • Their

    • There

    • They're

    • Its

    Correct Answer
    A. Their
    Explanation
    "Their" is the correct pronoun to complete the sentence as it is a possessive pronoun referring to a plural subject, in this case, "students." It correctly matches the plural noun in possessive form, indicating that the books belong to the students. "There" and "they're" are misused in this context as they represent a location and a contraction for "they are," respectively, and "its" is singular possessive, not matching the plural "students."

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What is the synonym of "happy"?

    • Sad

    • Joyful

    • Tired

    • Serious

    Correct Answer
    A. Joyful
    Explanation
    "Joyful" is a synonym of "happy," both expressing a state of happiness or pleasure. The other options, "sad," "tired," and "serious," convey different emotions or states and are antonyms or unrelated to happiness. Synonyms are words that have similar meanings and can often be used interchangeably in sentences without changing the overall meaning.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Identify the adjective in this sentence: "The cold breeze chilled us."

    • The

    • Cold

    • Breeze

    • Chilled

    Correct Answer
    A. Cold
    Explanation
    "Cold" is the adjective in the sentence because it describes the noun "breeze," specifying the type of breeze. Adjectives modify nouns by giving more detail about their qualities or states. In this case, "cold" provides specific information about the temperature characteristic of the breeze, enhancing the reader's understanding of the scenario.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Choose the word that is spelled incorrectly.

    • Environment

    • Accomodation

    • Separate

    • Definitely

    Correct Answer
    A. Accomodation
    Explanation
    "Accommodation" is spelled incorrectly as "accomodation" in the options provided. The correct spelling contains double 'm' and double 'd.' Spelling errors can change the meaning of words or make them unrecognizable, so correct spelling is crucial for clear communication and is often emphasized in English quizzes.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What type of conjunction is "but"?

    • Coordinating

    • Subordinating

    • Correlative

    • Preposition

    Correct Answer
    A. Coordinating
    Explanation
    "But" is a coordinating conjunction, which is used to connect grammatically equal elements within a sentence, such as clauses, words, or phrases. It shows contrast between the elements it joins. This type of conjunction is one of the basic ones taught in English grammar to illustrate the relationship between different sentence parts.
