Some people ______ very good at Maths.

    is
  • b)
    am
  • c)
    are
  • d)
    do
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Shubham Gupta answered
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'c' - are.

In the given sentence, we are talking about "some people" who are good at Maths. The subject "some people" is plural, referring to more than one person. Therefore, we need to use a plural verb form to agree with the subject.

Subject-Verb Agreement:
Subject-verb agreement means that the verb used in a sentence should agree in number with the subject. In simple terms, if the subject is singular, the verb should also be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb should also be plural.

In the given sentence, the subject "some people" is plural, so we need to use the plural form of the verb.

- Option 'a' - is: The verb "is" is singular and does not agree with the plural subject "some people," so it is incorrect.
- Option 'b' - am: The verb "am" is the first-person singular form and cannot be used with the subject "some people," so it is incorrect.
- Option 'd' - do: The verb "do" is the plural form, but it does not correctly match the subject "some people," so it is incorrect.

Correct Answer:
The correct answer is option 'c' - are. The verb "are" is the plural form of the verb "be" and correctly matches the subject "some people."

Fill in the blank with a suitable modal. 
_____ God give you courage to face it!
  • a)
    Can
  • b)
    May
  • c)
    Will
  • d)
    Might
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Mehul Sharma answered
Modal Verb 'May'

  • The modal verb 'may' is used to express permission or possibility.

  • In the given sentence, 'May' is the most suitable modal verb because it expresses the hope or wish that God grants the listener the courage to face the situation.

  • The speaker is not asking if God has the ability to grant courage ('can'), if it is definite that God will grant courage ('will'), or if there is a slight chance God will grant courage ('might'). The speaker is expressing a hope or wish for the listener.

  • Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - May God give you courage to face it!

Fill in the blank with the appropriate word from those given in the options.
Children _______ obey their teachers.
  • a)
    Should
  • b)
    Would
  • c)
    May
  • d)
    Ought
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the meaning of the words given in the options and choose the one that best fits the given sentence.

Should: This word is used to express obligation or duty. It suggests that something is expected or required to happen. In this case, children are expected or required to obey their teachers. Therefore, "should" is an appropriate word that can be used in this sentence.

Would: This word is used to express a conditional action or a future action in the past. It does not convey the sense of obligation or duty. So, "would" is not an appropriate word to complete the sentence.

May: This word is used to express possibility or permission. It suggests that something is allowed or permitted to happen. However, in this sentence, we are talking about an obligation or duty for children to obey their teachers. Therefore, "may" is not an appropriate word to complete the sentence.

Ought: This word is used to express duty or moral obligation. It suggests that something should be done because it is the right thing to do. In this case, children are expected to obey their teachers, which can be seen as a moral obligation. Therefore, "ought" is an appropriate word that can be used in this sentence.

Based on the meanings of the words given in the options, the correct word to complete the sentence is "should". Children should obey their teachers because it is expected or required of them.

Fill in the blank with an appropriate modal:
If only they ____ keep quiet for a moment.
  • a)

In the following sentence supply a verb in agreement with its subject:
Ninety rupees _____ too much for this bag.
  • a)
    is
  • b)
    are
  • c)
    were
  • d)
    be
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sarita Singh answered
When we refer to a specific amount of money as a whole (example 90 rupees), we still use the singular form of the verb, even though the currency is a plural word (rupees). If we talk about each rupee separately, however, then we use the plural verb form. So, the most appropriate answer is option A) is. Options B) and C) are plural verbs so are incorrect. Option D) is grammatically incorrect for the sentence given.
