Those are probably the ___________ curtains in the store.
  • a)
    Fancyest
  • b)
    Fanciest
  • c)
    Most fanciest
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:
Comparative and superlative forms of adjectives are used to compare two or more things. In this sentence, we are comparing the curtains in the store to determine which ones are the best.

The correct answer is option 'B' - Fanciest.

Here's why:

1. Superlative form: When we want to compare one thing to all others in a group, we use the superlative form of an adjective. The superlative form is created by adding "-est" to the end of the adjective. For example, "big" becomes "biggest."

2. Adjective: The word "fancy" is the adjective used to describe the curtains.

3. Most fanciest: Using "most" with the superlative form is incorrect. It's redundant and unnecessary.

4. Fanciest: Adding "-est" to "fancy" gives us "fanciest," which is the correct superlative form.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "Those are probably the fanciest curtains in the store."

I bought ________ oranges.
  • a)
    Great some big
  • b)
    Big great some
  • c)
    Some great big
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ameya Shah answered
Parts of Speech in the Sentence

In order to understand why the correct answer is option 'C', we need to analyze the sentence and identify the parts of speech used.

The sentence in question is: "I bought ________ oranges."

- "I" is a pronoun, representing the person who did the action (in this case, buying the oranges).
- "bought" is a verb, indicating the action that was taken.
- "oranges" is a noun, the object that was bought.

Choosing the Correct Adjectives

The missing word in the sentence is an adjective, which is a word that describes or modifies a noun. In this case, we need an adjective to describe the oranges that were bought.

The options given are:

a) Great some big
b) Big great some
c) Some great big

Out of these options, option 'C' is the correct one. Here's why:

- "Some" is an adjective that means "an unspecified amount or number". In this case, it indicates that the number of oranges bought is not important, just that there were some.
- "great" is an adjective that means "very good" or "impressive". It describes the quality of the oranges.
- "big" is an adjective that means "large in size". It also describes the oranges.

Putting these three adjectives together, we get "Some great big oranges", which means that the oranges that were bought were of good quality and large in size, but the exact number is not important.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the correct answer to the question "I bought ________ oranges" is option 'C', which reads "Some great big". This answer uses three adjectives to describe the oranges that were bought: "some" to indicate an unspecified amount, "great" to describe their quality, and "big" to describe their size.

Which of the following endoparasites of humans does show viviparity ?
  • a)
    Ascaris lumbricoides
  • b)
    Ancylostoma duodenale
  • c)
    Enterobius vermicularis
  • d)
    Trichinella spiralis
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Trichinellosis is caused by the ingestion of undercooked meat containing encysted larvae of Trichinella species .Trichinella spiralis, a nematode parasite copulates in intestine, after which males dies and females produces larvae which enters into the blood circulation to reach the muscles. After exposure to gastric acid and pepsin, the larvae are released from the cysts and invade the mucosa where they develop into adult worms. The production of larvae indicates vivipary. Ancylostoma, Enterobius and Ascaris are all egg laying endoparasites.

  • a)
    Worse
  • b)

Option a) Worse is the correct answer.
In this sentence, "definitely" is an adverb modifying the verb "is," and "this morning" is a prepositional phrase modifying the adjective "worse." The adjective "worse" is being used to describe the state of the speaker's cold, which is getting worse.

Adjectives in the Sentence "Small children skipped"


  • Small - This is the only adjective in the sentence. It describes the noun "children" by indicating their size.



Explanation

Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns or pronouns. In the sentence "Small children skipped," the word "small" is an adjective because it describes the noun "children." The adjective "small" indicates the size of the children.

The word "children" is a noun because it is a person, place, thing, or idea. The word "skipped" is a verb because it is an action word that shows what the children did.

Therefore, the only adjective in the sentence is "small." It is important to identify adjectives in a sentence because they provide more information about the noun or pronoun being described.

- The word "disgraceful" means bringing or deserving disgrace, shameful, or dishonorable.
- In this context, Aman's bedroom is being described as disgraceful because it is messy or untidy.
- The speaker is expressing disappointment or disapproval of the current state of the bedroom and is requesting Aman to tidy it up immediately.
- Therefore, the correct adjective to fill in the blank is "disgraceful."

    little
  • b)
    less
  • c)
    Both a and b
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kayra Gauba answered
To choose the correct option and fill in the blanks, we need to determine whether we need "little" or "less" furniture in the dance hall compared to the big one.
Explanation:
The correct answer is option B: "less".
To understand why "less" is the correct option, we need to consider the meaning and usage of both "little" and "less".
1. Little:
- "Little" is used to describe a small quantity or amount of something.
- It is generally used with non-countable nouns.
- Example: There is little water in the glass.
2. Less:
- "Less" is used to compare two quantities or amounts, indicating a smaller amount in comparison.
- It is used with countable and non-countable nouns.
- Example: There are less cars in the parking lot compared to yesterday.
In the given sentence, we are comparing the amount of furniture needed in the dance hall with the amount needed in the big one. Since we are comparing quantities, we should use "less" instead of "little".
Therefore, the correct option to fill in the blank is "less".

    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Edu Impact answered

The correct option to fill in the blanks is A: a few.
Here is a detailed explanation:
1. Understanding the options:
- Option A: "a few" refers to a small number of something.
- Option B: "a little" is used for uncountable nouns, not countable nouns like chairs.
- Option C: "Both a and b" is not applicable here as option B is incorrect.
- Option D: "none of these" is not applicable here as option A is correct.
2. Interpreting the sentence:
- The sentence states that there are a certain number of chairs in the room.
- To choose the correct option, we need to determine the appropriate phrase to describe the quantity of chairs.
3. Determining the correct option:
- Since chairs are countable nouns, we need to use a phrase that indicates a small number of chairs.
- The phrase "a few" fits this requirement and correctly describes a small quantity of chairs.
Therefore, the correct option to fill in the blanks is A: a few.

Q. This book is very ______.

    Informative
  • b)
    Informing
  • c)
    Informed
  • d)
    Informs
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?


The correct adjective to fill in the blank is "informative" (Option A). Here is the detailed explanation:
1. Informative:
- The adjective "informative" describes something that provides information or knowledge.
- In the given sentence, the book is being described as "very ______," indicating that it imparts a significant amount of information.
- Therefore, "informative" is the most suitable adjective to complete the sentence.
2. Informing:
- The adjective "informing" is not appropriate in this context as it is the present participle form of the verb "inform."
- It refers to the action of providing information, rather than describing the book itself.
3. Informed:
- The adjective "informed" describes a person who possesses knowledge or is well-aware of a particular topic.
- In the given sentence, the book is the subject, not a person, so "informed" is not the correct adjective.
4. Informs:
- The verb "informs" is in the present tense, describing the action of providing information.
- However, in the given sentence, an adjective is required to describe the book, not a verb.
In conclusion, the correct adjective to fill in the blank is "informative" (Option A).

Choose the correct adjective from the alternatives given below and fill in the blanks:
Q. I heard a noise. ________ body is outside.
  • a)
    Little
  • b)
    Less
  • c)
    Some
  • d)
    Any
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?


Explanation:
To answer this question, we need to consider the context and meaning of the sentence. The sentence states that the speaker heard a noise and someone's body is outside. The adjective we choose should describe the quantity or number of people outside.
Let's analyze the given options:
- Little: This adjective is used to describe a small quantity. However, it is not appropriate in this context because it implies that there is only a small number of people outside, which may not be accurate based on the given information.
- Less: This adjective is used to compare quantities. It is not suitable in this context because it does not provide any information about the number of people outside.
- Some: This adjective is used to describe an indefinite quantity or number. It is the correct choice in this context because it implies that there are some people outside, without specifying the exact number.
- Any: This adjective is used to describe an indefinite quantity or number, typically in negative or interrogative sentences. It is not appropriate in this context because the sentence is not negative or interrogative.
Therefore, the correct adjective to fill in the blank is Some.

Everyone was home for the holidays. What could make for ___________ Christmas than that?
  • a)
    A merryer
  • b)
    The merriest
  • c)
    A merrier
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Bibek Shah answered
Explanation:

The correct answer is option 'c' - "A merrier".

Comparative and Superlative Forms:
In English, adjectives can be used in different forms to compare two or more things. The comparative form is used to compare two things, while the superlative form is used to compare three or more things.

Formation of Comparative and Superlative:
The comparative form of an adjective is formed by adding -er to the end of the adjective. For example, 'merry' becomes 'merrier' in its comparative form.
The superlative form of an adjective is formed by adding -est to the end of the adjective. For example, 'merry' becomes 'merriest' in its superlative form.

Comparison in the Given Sentence:
In the given sentence, we are comparing the level of merriment during the holidays. The sentence states that "Everyone was home for the holidays". This implies that the level of merriment is already high because everyone is together.

To express a higher level of merriment, we need to use the comparative form of the adjective 'merry'. Therefore, the correct answer is "A merrier Christmas than that". This means that there is a possibility of a Christmas that is even more merry than the one described in the sentence.

Incorrect Options:
- Option 'a' - "A merryer" is not a correct word. The correct comparative form of 'merry' is 'merrier'.
- Option 'b' - "The merriest" is the superlative form of 'merry' and is not suitable in this context because it implies that there cannot be a Christmas that is even more merry.

Conclusion:
Based on the given sentence and the rules of forming comparative and superlative forms, the correct answer is option 'c' - "A merrier". This option expresses the possibility of a Christmas that is even more merry than the one described.

    much
  • b)
    many
  • c)
    Both a and b
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:


The question is related to the quantity of oranges put in the box. The correct option to use in this context is 'many', as it is used for countable nouns. 'Much' is used for uncountable nouns. Hence, option A is incorrect. Option C is incorrect because it gives both options, which does not make sense in the context of the question. Option D is incorrect because it is not relevant to the question.


Answer:


The correct option is 'B', which is 'many'. This is because oranges are countable nouns, and require 'many' to express their quantity.

Q. Going to Disneyland was ______ day of my life.
  • a)
    The most exciting
  • b)
    Most exciting
  • c)
    mostely exciting
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Manoj Desai answered
Answer:

Explanation:
The correct adjective to fill in the blank is "The most exciting". Here's why:

- "The most exciting" is a superlative adjective, which means it is used to describe something that is of the highest degree or quality.
- In the given sentence, the speaker is talking about their experience at Disneyland and is comparing it to all other days of their life. Therefore, they need to use a superlative adjective to convey that it was the most exciting day they have ever had.
- Option A correctly uses the article "The" before the adjective "most exciting", which is necessary when using a superlative adjective. This distinguishes it from a comparative adjective (e.g. "more exciting") which doesn't need an article.
- Option B is also grammatically correct as it uses the superlative form of the adjective, but it is missing the article "The" before it.
- Option C is not a grammatically correct phrase, as "mostely" is not a word in the English language.
- Option D is incorrect as it doesn't provide a valid alternative.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A, "The most exciting".

Adjective Usage:
- Adjectives are used to describe or modify nouns.
- In this case, the adjective is used to describe the recipe for cheesecake.
Options:
A: Quick easy
B: Quickly and easy
C: Quick and easily
D: Quick and easy
Explanation:
- Option A, "Quick easy," is grammatically incorrect because it does not use the correct form of the adjective.
- Option B, "Quickly and easy," is also grammatically incorrect because "quickly" is an adverb, not an adjective.
- Option C, "Quick and easily," is grammatically incorrect because "easily" is an adverb, not an adjective.
- Option D, "Quick and easy," is the correct answer. Both "quick" and "easy" are adjectives that correctly describe the recipe for cheesecake.
Conclusion:
The correct adjective to fill in the blank is "quick and easy" (Option D).

Color (blue) -> Material (silk) -> Purpose (tie)

Therefore, the correct sentence structure is "Blue silk tie".

Option A is incorrect because the order of adjectives is not correct.

Option B is incorrect because the order of words is not correct.

Option C is correct because it follows the correct order of adjectives in English language.

  • b)
    many
  • c)
    Both a and b
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Megha Menon answered
Explanation:

Countable and Uncountable Nouns:
- In English, some nouns can be counted (e.g. apples, books) while others cannot (e.g. water, hair).
- "Hair" is typically considered an uncountable noun, so we use "much" to refer to it.

Use of "much" vs. "many":
- We use "much" with uncountable nouns to indicate a large amount.
- In this case, we say "The old man hasn't got much hair on his head" because hair is an uncountable noun.

Correct Answer:
- The correct answer is option 'A' because we use "much" with uncountable nouns like hair.

  • b)
    Most difficult
  • c)
    Least difficult
  • d)
    Less difficult
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ajit rana answered
Explanation:

To determine the correct adjective to fill in the blank, we need to consider the context given in the sentence. The sentence states that "The maths exam was ______ than I expected."

The word "than" indicates a comparison is being made between the difficulty of the maths exam and the expectation of the speaker.

Let's examine each option and its meaning:

a) Difficult: This adjective means something is not easy or requires effort or skill. While it might be a suitable choice, we need to consider the comparison being made in the sentence.

b) Most difficult: This adjective indicates that something is the most challenging out of all the options. However, we do not have any other options to compare the maths exam to in the given sentence.

c) Least difficult: This adjective indicates that something is the least challenging out of all the options. Again, we do not have any other options to compare the maths exam to in the given sentence.

d) Less difficult: This adjective indicates that something is not as challenging as expected or compared to something else. This is the most appropriate choice in the given context because it implies that the maths exam was not as difficult as the speaker initially thought.

Therefore, the correct adjective to fill in the blank is "less difficult" (option D).

The sentence would then read: "The maths exam was less difficult than I expected."

Choose the correct option and fill in the blanks.
I take _______ sugar with my coffee.
  • a)
    a few
  • b)
    a little
  • c)
    Both a and b
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 'B') a little.

When we say "a little" in this context, it means a small amount of sugar. It implies that the person prefers to have a small quantity of sugar in their coffee.

Let's understand the options and their meanings:

- Option 'A') a few: This option typically refers to a small number of items or objects. However, when talking about sugar, we use the phrase "a little" instead of "a few." Therefore, option 'A' is incorrect in this context.

- Option 'B') a little: This option means a small amount or quantity. It is the appropriate choice when referring to sugar in coffee. Therefore, option 'B' is the correct answer.

- Option 'C') Both a and b: This option is incorrect because option 'A' is not the correct choice for the given context. Therefore, option 'C' is not the correct answer.

- Option 'D') none of these: This option is incorrect because the correct answer is option 'B') a little.

Summary:

In conclusion, the correct option to fill in the blank is 'B') a little. It indicates that the person takes a small amount of sugar with their coffee.

Ashish Malik answered
Answer:

To determine the correct answer, we need to look at the given options and understand the rules of sentence structure and word order.

Understanding the sentence structure:
The sentence structure in question is "Tashonda wanted to take a course with ______ professor."

Here, we are looking for an adjective to describe the professor. Adjectives typically come before the noun they modify, so we need to find the correct order of adjectives in the given options.

Option analysis:
Let's analyze each option to determine the correct answer:

a) That interesting new Japanese economics:
In this option, the word order is "interesting new Japanese economics." The adjectives are placed in the correct order before the noun "economics." So, this option is grammatically correct.

b) That Japanese interesting, new economics:
In this option, the word order is "Japanese interesting, new economics." The adjectives are placed in the incorrect order. According to the rules of adjective order, the correct order should be "interesting new Japanese economics."

c) That interesting, new, Japanese, economics:
In this option, the word order is "interesting, new, Japanese, economics." The adjectives are separated by commas, which is not the correct way to order multiple adjectives. The correct order should be "interesting new Japanese economics."

Conclusion:
After analyzing all the options, we can conclude that the correct answer is option 'a' - "That interesting new Japanese economics." This option follows the correct order of adjectives before the noun "economics."

Riya Singh answered

The correct option to fill in the blank is a few.

Explanation:
To determine the correct option, let's understand the meaning of the given options and choose the most suitable one:
- a few: It means a small number or amount. It is used with countable nouns.
- a little: It means a small amount. It is used with uncountable nouns.
In the given sentence, the word "dollars" is a countable noun, and we need to express that the person spent a small number of dollars. Therefore, the correct option is "a few".
Here's a breakdown of the options:
A: a few: This option is correct because it indicates a small number of dollars.
B: a little: This option is incorrect because it is used with uncountable nouns, not countable nouns like "dollars".
C: Both a and b: This option is incorrect because "a little" is not suitable for countable nouns like "dollars".
D: none of these: This option is incorrect because option A is the correct choice.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A, a few.

You have _______ time left.

    a few
  • b)
    a little
  • c)
    Both a and b
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjana Das answered
Explanation:

When we talk about time, we generally use the quantifiers 'few' and 'little' to describe the amount of time left. Let's understand the difference between the two:

  • Few: It refers to a small number. When we say 'a few minutes', it means there are some minutes left but the exact number is not specified.

  • Little: It refers to a small amount. When we say 'a little time', it means there is some time left but the exact amount is not specified.


In this case, we are talking about time left, which is an uncountable noun. Therefore, the correct option is 'a little time left'.

b) less: This option indicates that the quantity of coffee to be drunk is comparatively smaller than something else.
c) Both a and b: This option implies that both options a and b are correct.
d) none of these: This option states that none of the given options is correct.

Explanation:
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the context of the sentence. The sentence states "You have to drink _______ coffee." Here, the word "have to" implies that drinking coffee is necessary or mandatory.

In this case, the correct option would be "less" (option b) because it suggests that the quantity of coffee to be drunk is comparatively smaller than something else. This implies that the person should limit their coffee intake and consume less coffee than they usually would.

Option a, "little," suggests a small quantity of coffee but it does not convey the idea of moderation or limitation. Therefore, it is not the correct answer.

Option c, "Both a and b," is not the correct answer because option a alone does not convey the desired meaning.

Option d, "none of these," is also not the correct answer because option b, "less," is the appropriate choice in this context.

Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct answer is option b, "less," as it accurately conveys the idea of limiting or reducing coffee intake.

Q. Have you got ______ food?
  • a)
    Little
  • b)
    Less
  • c)
    Some
  • d)
    Few
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Gunjan Lakhani answered

  • The correct adjective is "some."

  • "Some" is used to denote an indefinite amount of things that are countable or uncountable, such as "food."

  • Food is an uncountable noun, so adjectives like "few" or "little," which are specific to countable or negative amounts, aren't appropriate here.

  • "Less" is a comparative adjective, not suitable for this context which asks if there is any quantity of food.

    Confusing

Rohan Joshi answered
Answer:

Explanation:
To choose the correct adjective to fill in the blank, we need to understand the context and meaning of the sentence.

The sentence states that "She draws a very ________ diagram on the board."

We can understand that the adjective being used here describes the diagram.

The options given are:
a) Confuse
b) Confusing
c) Confuses
d) Confusive

Meaning of the options:
a) Confuse: This is a verb and means to make someone feel uncertain or puzzled. It is not appropriate to describe a diagram.
b) Confusing: This is the correct adjective form of the word "confuse". It means causing someone to feel uncertain or puzzled. This fits the context of the sentence as it describes the diagram.
c) Confuses: This is a verb form and does not fit the context of the sentence.
d) Confusive: This word does not exist in the English language and is not a correct adjective form.

Therefore, the correct adjective to fill in the blank is "Confusing" (option b).

Choose the correct adjective from the alternatives given below and fill in the blanks:
Q. Pani is ________ than Samira
  • a)
    More beautiful
  • b)
    As beautiful as
  • c)
    The most beautiful
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

**Explanation:**

In the given question, we are comparing the beauty of two people, Pani and Samira. To do this, we need to use the comparative form of the adjective "beautiful".

The comparative form of an adjective is used when we compare two things or people. It is formed by adding "-er" to the end of the adjective. In this case, the comparative form of "beautiful" is "more beautiful".

So, the correct answer is option 'A' - "More beautiful". This means that Pani is more beautiful than Samira.

Let's look at the other options and understand why they are incorrect:

- Option 'B' - "As beautiful as": This option indicates that Pani and Samira have the same level of beauty. However, the original question states that Pani is "______ than Samira", implying a comparison.

- Option 'C' - "The most beautiful": This option is used to compare more than two things or people. It is called the superlative form of the adjective. Since we are only comparing Pani and Samira, we cannot use the superlative form in this context.

- Option 'D' - "None of these": This option is incorrect because the correct answer is option 'A' - "More beautiful".

In conclusion, the correct adjective to fill in the blank is "more beautiful" (option 'A') as it correctly reflects the comparison between Pani and Samira.

Q. You are _____ than my sister.
  • a)
    Crazier
  • b)
    As crazy as
  • c)
    The craziest
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Dr Manju Sen answered

The correct adjective to fill in the blank is "crazier".
Explanation:
To determine the correct adjective, we need to compare the subject to the speaker's sister. Let's analyze each option:
A: Crazier - This adjective implies that the subject is more crazy than the speaker's sister. It fits the sentence structure and meaning, making it the correct choice.
B: As crazy as - This phrase indicates that the subject and the speaker's sister have the same level of craziness. However, the sentence requires a comparison of differences, so this option is incorrect.
C: The craziest - This adjective suggests that the subject is the most crazy out of all possible options. However, the sentence does not require a superlative form, so this option is also incorrect.
D: None of these - Since option A, "crazier," is the correct answer, this option is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: Crazier.

Q. We need _______ water.
  • a)
    a few
  • b)
    a little
  • c)
    Both a and b
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anisha Reddy answered
Explanation:
- The correct answer for the given question is option 'B' - a little.
- We need a little water.
- This means that we need a small amount of water.

Reasoning:
- The phrase "a little" is used when we need a small amount of something.
- In this case, we need a small amount of water.
- The word "few" is used when we are referring to countable objects, not substances like water.
- Since water is not countable, we cannot use "a few" in this context.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - a little.

I have _______ money left.
  • a)
    a few
  • b)
    a little
  • c)
    Both a and b
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:


The given sentence is talking about the amount of money left. The options given to fill in the blank are:

a) a few
b) a little
c) Both a and b
d) none of these

Out of these options, the correct option is 'B' which is 'a little'. Here's why:

Meaning of the options:

a) a few - This option means that there is a small number of something. It is used for countable nouns. For example, a few coins, a few books, etc.

b) a little - This option means that there is a small amount of something. It is used for uncountable nouns. For example, a little water, a little milk, etc.

c) Both a and b - This option is incorrect because 'a few' and 'a little' have different meanings and cannot be used interchangeably.

d) none of these - This option is incorrect as there is a correct option among the given options.

Conclusion:

Based on the meaning of the options, the correct option to fill in the blank is 'a little' because the sentence is referring to the amount of money left which is an uncountable noun. Therefore, the correct sentence is "I have a little money left."

    Good for nothing
  • b)
    Good at nothing
  • c)
    Good with nothing
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Edu Impact answered

To choose the correct adjective that fills in the blanks in the given sentence, let's examine each option:
A. Good for nothing: This is the correct adjective that fits the sentence. It means the old clothes are useless or of no value.
B. Good at nothing: This option does not fit the sentence as it implies that the old clothes are not good at any particular skill or task, which is not the intended meaning.
C. Good with nothing: This option does not fit the sentence as it suggests that the old clothes are good with nothing, which does not make sense in the context.
D. Good of nothing: This option does not fit the sentence as it is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrase is "good for nothing."
Therefore, the correct adjective to fill in the blanks is "good for nothing" (option A), which means the old clothes are useless or of no value.

Q. Ajay is ______ than Amit.
  • a)
    Taller
  • b)
    As tall as
  • c)
    The tallest
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Yashina Kapoor answered

To determine the correct adjective to fill in the blanks, we need to compare the heights of Ajay and Amit.
The options provided are:
A. Taller
B. As tall as
C. The tallest
D. None of these
Let's analyze each option and determine the correct answer:
A. Taller: This implies that Ajay's height is greater than Amit's height. So, if Ajay is indeed taller than Amit, this option is correct.
B. As tall as: This implies that Ajay and Amit have the same height. However, the question states that Ajay is "______ than Amit," indicating a comparison of height. Therefore, this option is not correct.
C. The tallest: This implies that Ajay is the person with the greatest height among all the individuals being compared. However, the question only compares Ajay and Amit, so this option is not correct.
D. None of these: This option suggests that none of the given options are correct. However, upon analysis, option A (Taller) appears to be the correct answer.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. Taller.

Q. _________ people don’t like Bill Clinton.
  • a)
    Little
  • b)
    Less
  • c)
    Some
  • d)
    Any
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?


The correct adjective to fill in the blank is "Some." Here's a detailed explanation:
1. Understanding the sentence: The sentence states that "_________ people don't like Bill Clinton." We need an adjective that describes the group of people who don't like Bill Clinton.
2. Analyzing the options:
- "Little" is an adjective used for quantity and refers to a small amount. It does not fit in the context of the sentence as it does not describe people.
- "Less" is a comparative adjective used for quantity and does not describe people. It is not suitable in this context.
- "Some" is an adjective that refers to an unspecified number or quantity of people. It is the most appropriate choice as it describes the group of people who don't like Bill Clinton.
- "Any" is an adjective used to refer to one or more of an unspecified number or quantity of people. While it can be used in certain contexts, it does not fit well in this sentence as it does not specify a group of people who don't like Bill Clinton.
3. Conclusion: The correct adjective to fill in the blank is "Some" as it accurately describes the group of people who don't like Bill Clinton.

Q. Can you please buy ___________ apples?
  • a)
    a few
  • b)
    a little
  • c)
    Both a and b
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer:


The correct answer is option 'A' - a few.




Explanation:


To understand why the correct answer is option 'A' - a few, let's take a look at the meaning of the options 'a few' and 'a little' and how they are used with countable and uncountable nouns.




A few:


- 'A few' is used with countable nouns, which are objects that can be counted individually.
- It indicates a small quantity of something.
- For example, if you say "Can you please buy a few apples?", it means you want the person to buy a small number of apples.




A little:


- 'A little' is used with uncountable nouns, which are objects that cannot be counted individually.
- It also indicates a small quantity of something.
- For example, if you say "Can you please buy a little water?", it means you want the person to buy a small amount of water.




Why is option 'A' the correct answer?


In the given question, the word "apples" is a countable noun because you can count individual apples. Therefore, the correct option to use is 'a few', which is specifically used with countable nouns. Option 'B' - 'a little' is incorrect because it is used with uncountable nouns, and 'apples' is not an uncountable noun.




Hence, the correct answer is option 'A' - a few.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Pranavi Bajaj answered
Explanation:

The correct answer is option 'A' - Little.

When we say "I have little interest in classical music," it means that I have very little or almost no interest in classical music.

Explanation of the options:

a) Little: This means having a small or insignificant amount of interest in classical music.
b) Less: This means having a smaller amount of interest in classical music compared to something else.
c) Both a and b: This option is incorrect because it is not possible to have both a small amount of interest (little) and a smaller amount of interest (less) at the same time.
d) None of these: This option is incorrect because option 'A' - Little is the correct answer.

Conclusion:

The correct option is 'A' - Little, which means having a small or insignificant amount of interest in classical music.

Q. We saw _____ animals at the zoo.
  • a)
    much
  • b)
    many
  • c)
    Both a and b
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Hiral Mehta answered
Explanation:



The correct option is (b) many. Here's why:



Countable and Uncountable Nouns:

In English, we have two types of nouns: countable and uncountable. Countable nouns refer to things that can be counted, such as "animals," "books," and "cars." Uncountable nouns refer to things that cannot be counted, such as "water," "sand," and "rice."


Using "Much" and "Many":

When we want to describe the quantity of a countable noun, we use "many." For example, "There are many books on the shelf." When we want to describe the quantity of an uncountable noun, we use "much." For example, "There is much water in the lake."


The Answer:

In the given sentence, we are talking about animals, which is a countable noun. Therefore, we need to use "many" to describe the quantity. The correct option is (b) many. The sentence should read, "We saw many animals at the zoo."


Conclusion:

It is important to understand the difference between countable and uncountable nouns and how to use "much" and "many" correctly. By doing so, we can communicate effectively and avoid making grammatical errors.

Q. I like _______ pop music I hate it all.
  • a)
    Little
  • b)
    Less
  • c)
    Some
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

The correct adjective to fill in the blank is (d) None of these. The sentence "I like _______ pop music" is a negative statement, so none of the adjectives given in the options is appropriate to fill in the blank. The sentence should be rewritten as "I don't like any pop music." or "I hate all pop music." to be grammatically correct.

Option (a) Little is incorrect because it does not make sense in the context of the sentence. Option (b) Less is incorrect because it does not make sense in the context of the sentence. Option (c) Some is incorrect because it does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
