1. What is the plural form of "mouse"?

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.

2. Which sentence is correctly punctuated?

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.

Submit
3. Which sentence is in the passive voice?

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."

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

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."

Submit
5. Which word is a noun in the following sentence: "She quickly adjusted the bright lamp."

Explanation

In the sentence provided, "lamp" is identified as the noun because it serves as the subject of the action and is the main object being described. Nouns typically function as the person, place, thing, or idea in a sentence. Here, "quickly," "adjusted," and "bright" act as an adverb, verb, and adjective, respectively, modifying how the action is performed and describing other elements of the sentence rather than acting as the primary subject.

Submit
6. Select the correct past tense form of "run."

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.

Submit
7. What is the synonym of "happy"?

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.

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

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.

Submit
9. Choose the word that is spelled incorrectly.

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.

Submit
10. What type of conjunction is "but"?

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.
