Priyanka Sharma answered
The man with whom the Inspector was speaking is the notorious diamond thief, Renard.  - When a person is the object of a sentence, the correct pronoun to use is 'whom' (The Inspector is speaking to Renard - With whom is the Inspector speaking?).  Because this is considered very formal, you will rarely hear it in spoken English (usually, people use 'who' instead).  It is important to know when to use 'whom', however, for times when you need to be absolutely correct

Sanskriti Sen answered
Learning a New Language

Learning a new language is a challenging yet rewarding experience. It requires time and effort to become proficient in a foreign language. Below are the reasons why option 'A' is the correct answer:

Much Time is Required

- Learning a new language requires a significant amount of time. It is not something that can be achieved overnight.
- One needs to invest time in studying grammar rules, vocabulary, pronunciation, and sentence structure.
- Learning a new language involves practice, practice, and more practice. One needs to speak, read, write, and listen to the language to become proficient.
- Consistency is the key to learning a new language. One needs to devote time regularly to improve their skills.

Other Options

- Option 'B' (Many) is not the correct answer because it refers to countable items, and time is not countable.
- Option 'C' (Much of) is not the correct answer because it implies that only a part of the time is required, which is not true. Learning a new language requires a significant amount of time.
- Option 'D' (Most of) is not the correct answer because it implies that more than half of the time is required, which is not true. Learning a new language requires a significant amount of time, but it does not necessarily mean that it is the most time-consuming activity.

Conclusion

In conclusion, learning a new language requires much time and effort. It is a rewarding experience that opens doors to new cultures, people, and opportunities. One should be patient and consistent in their approach to become proficient in a foreign language.

Shilpa Shah answered
The highlighted word "his" in the given sentence is used as a pronoun.

Explanation:
Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns to avoid repetition. They can refer to a noun that has already been mentioned or is understood from the context. In this case, the pronoun "his" is used to refer to the possession of someone, most likely a person mentioned earlier in the conversation or text.

In the given sentence, the word "his" is used to refer to the possession of someone, indicating that the ambition being discussed belongs to a specific person. The use of "his" suggests that the ambition belongs to a male individual, as it is a possessive pronoun used to indicate ownership by a male.

Example:
To understand the usage of the pronoun "his" in a sentence, let's consider the following example:
- John loves playing the guitar. His musical talent is exceptional.

In this example, the pronoun "his" is used to avoid repeating the noun "John." It indicates that the musical talent being discussed belongs to John. The pronoun "his" is used as a possessive pronoun to show ownership.

Therefore, in the given sentence, "Such was his ambition that could never be curbed," the word "his" is used as a pronoun to indicate the possession of someone.

I could answer only _______ questions.
  • a)
    few
  • b)
    a few
  • c)
    little
  • d)
    a little
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Muskaan Chavan answered
Answer:

The correct option is b) a few.

Explanation:

The given sentence talks about the number of questions that the person was able to answer. The options given are based on the usage of determiners, which are words that are used before a noun to indicate the quantity or amount of something.

Determiners can be classified into two categories:

1. Definite determiners: These are used to refer to a specific noun. Examples are 'the', 'this', 'that', 'these', and 'those'.

2. Indefinite determiners: These are used to refer to a noun in a non-specific manner. Examples are 'a', 'an', 'some', 'any', 'few', 'little', 'many', and 'much'.

In the given sentence, the correct option is 'a few' because:

- 'Few' means a small number or amount, and it is used with a negative connotation. Example: "Few people attended the meeting."
- 'A few' means some, but not many, and it is used with a positive connotation. Example: "I have a few friends in this city."

Therefore, the correct sentence would be "I could answer only a few questions," which means that the person was able to answer some questions, but not many.

He is the one _______ wife ran naked across the football field.
  • a)
    where
  • b)
    whose
  • c)
    0 (no relative pronoun necessary).
  • d)
    which
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Avni rao answered
Explanation:

Understanding the sentence:
The sentence is talking about a specific person whose wife ran naked across the football field. We need to find the correct relative pronoun to refer to that person.

Using 'whose' as a relative pronoun:
- 'Whose' is a possessive relative pronoun used to show ownership or relationship.
- In this sentence, we are talking about the person whose wife performed the action of running naked across the football field.
- Therefore, the correct relative pronoun to use in this context is 'whose'.

Incorrect options:
- 'Where' is used to refer to a place, not a person.
- 'Which' is used for things or animals, not people.

Conclusion:
By using 'whose' as the relative pronoun in the sentence, we correctly identify the person whose wife ran naked across the football field.

That fat man is the man for _______ Max works.
  • a)
    which
  • b)
    whom
  • c)
    when
  • d)
    who
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Riddhi malhotra answered
Explanation:

The sentence given is "That fat man is the man for Max works." In this sentence, we need to identify the correct pronoun to use in place of 'man'.

Relative Pronouns:

Relative pronouns are used to connect two clauses or sentences. They are used to refer to a noun or pronoun that comes before them. The most commonly used relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, and that.

Whom:

'Whom' is a relative pronoun used to refer to people. It is used as an object pronoun in a sentence. In the given sentence, 'whom' is the correct pronoun to use as it refers to the 'man' who is the object of the verb 'works'.

Correct Answer:

The correct answer is option 'B' which is 'whom'. Therefore, the sentence should be written as "That fat man is the man whom Max works for."

The computer _______ I bought last week is already broken.
  • a)
    which
  • b)

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

Rainbow Rise Classes answered

The correct answer for the given sentence is option A: which.

Here's the explanation:


  • The sentence is talking about a computer that was bought last week and is already broken.

  • In this context, we need to use a relative pronoun to refer to the computer.

  • The word "which" is a relative pronoun used to refer to things or objects.

  • Option A: which is the correct choice as it correctly refers to the computer.


In summary, the correct sentence is:

The computer which I bought last week is already broken.

I remember the day _______ I met her like it was just yesterday.
  • a)
    whom
  • b)
    when
  • c)
    who
  • d)
    which
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Varun Kapoor answered
**Explanation:**
The correct answer is option B, "when".

In the given sentence, the phrase "I remember the day" indicates that the speaker is referring to a specific time in the past. The word "when" is used to introduce a clause that provides information about the time or situation in which an event occurred. In this case, "when" is used to introduce the clause "I met her".

Here is a breakdown of the options:

a) whom: This is a pronoun used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. It is not appropriate in this context because it does not provide information about the time or situation.

b) when: This is an adverb used to introduce a clause that provides information about the time or situation in which an event occurred. It is the correct option in this sentence as it indicates the specific point in time when the speaker met her.

c) who: This is a pronoun used to refer to the subject of a sentence or clause. It is not appropriate in this context because it does not provide information about the time or situation.

d) which: This is a pronoun used to introduce a relative clause providing additional information about a noun. It is not appropriate in this context because it does not provide information about the time or situation.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B, "when", as it appropriately introduces the clause that provides information about the time the speaker met her.

I have had ______ ups and downs in my life.
  • a)
    many
  • b)
    much
  • c)
    most
  • d)
    more
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 6 answered
Explanation:
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the meaning and usage of the words given as options in the sentence. Let's examine each option:
A:
many

- The word "many" is used to describe a large quantity or number. It is commonly used with countable nouns.
- In the given sentence, "ups and downs" are countable nouns as they refer to specific events or experiences.
- Therefore, the word "many" is appropriate to describe the quantity of ups and downs in someone's life.
B:
much

- The word "much" is used to describe a large amount of something, typically with uncountable nouns.
- In the given sentence, "ups and downs" are not uncountable nouns but rather countable nouns.
- Therefore, the word "much" is not suitable in this context.
C:
most

- The word "most" is used to describe the superlative form of "many" or "much".
- In the given sentence, we are not comparing the ups and downs to others but simply stating their existence.
- Therefore, the word "most" is not appropriate in this context.
D:
more

- The word "more" is used to compare two or more quantities or numbers.
- In the given sentence, there is no comparison being made between different quantities of ups and downs.
- Therefore, the word "more" is not suitable in this context.
Based on the analysis above, option A "many" is the correct answer as it accurately describes the quantity of ups and downs in someone's life.

Select the answer choice that identifies the noun in the sentence.
It will exhaust all of your energy, will you then be able to walk again.
  • a)
    Take
  • b)
    All
  • c)
    Your
  • d)
    Energy
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mihir Menon answered
Identifying the Noun in a Sentence

The task is to identify the noun in the following sentence: "It will exhaust all of your energy, will you then be able to walk again."

Nouns are words that name a person, place, thing, or idea.

Answer:

The correct answer is "Energy."

Explanation:

- The sentence contains several words, but only one of them is a noun.
- "It" is not a noun because it is a pronoun that refers to something previously mentioned or understood.
- "Will" is not a noun because it is a modal verb that indicates future actions or events.
- "Exhaust" is not a noun either because it is a verb that means to use up completely or drain.
- "All" is not a noun because it is a determiner that modifies a noun, but it does not function as a noun itself.
- "Your" is not a noun either because it is a possessive adjective that shows ownership or relationship to a noun.
- Therefore, the only word left that is a noun is "Energy," which refers to the physical or mental ability to do work or accomplish something.

In summary, when identifying the noun in a sentence, it is important to look for words that name a person, place, thing, or idea.

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (d).
  • a)
    Though child marriage
  • b)
    has been banned.
  • c)
    the custom still prevailed amon g some groups in India.
  • d)
    No error.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Tanishq Khanna answered
The error is in Part (c) of the sentence.
Explanation:
- Subject-Verb Agreement Error: The verb "prevailed" should be in the past tense to maintain subject-verb agreement with the past tense "has been banned." Therefore, the correct form of the verb should be "prevailed" instead of "prevails."
- The corrected sentence would be: "Though child marriage has been banned, the custom still prevailed among some groups in India."

Kurt Vonnegut, _______ was one of America's best writers, was also a very good painter.
  • a)
    who
  • b)
    whom
  • c)
    which
  • d)
    0 (no relative pronoun necessary)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ananya kumar answered
Explanation:

The correct answer is option A, "who".

Relative Pronouns:
Relative pronouns are used to introduce relative clauses, which provide additional information about a noun or pronoun in the main clause. They can refer to people, things, or ideas.

Who:
The relative pronoun "who" is used to refer to people. It is the subject of the relative clause.

Example:
- The girl who won the competition is my sister.

In the given sentence, "Kurt Vonnegut, who was one of America's best writers, was also a very good painter," the relative pronoun "who" is used to introduce the relative clause "who was one of America's best writers." This clause provides additional information about Kurt Vonnegut, specifying that he was one of America's best writers.

Alternative Choices:

Whom:
The relative pronoun "whom" is used to refer to people. It is the object of the relative clause.

Example:
- The man whom I met yesterday is a doctor.

In the given sentence, "whom" is not appropriate because it is used as the object of the verb, and in the sentence, the relative pronoun refers to the subject of the clause.

Which:
The relative pronoun "which" is used to refer to things or ideas. It is used for both the subject and the object of the relative clause.

Example:
- The book, which I borrowed from the library, was very interesting.

In the given sentence, "which" is not appropriate because it is used to refer to things or ideas, and in the sentence, the relative pronoun refers to a person (Kurt Vonnegut).

No Relative Pronoun Necessary:
Sometimes, a relative pronoun is not necessary in a relative clause. This usually occurs when the relative pronoun is the object of the clause, and the object can be omitted.

Example:
- The man I saw yesterday is a doctor.

In the given sentence, a relative pronoun is necessary to introduce the relative clause because it provides additional information about Kurt Vonnegut.

  • c)
    which
  • d)
    who
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Subset Academy answered

The correct word to fill in the blank is "when". Let's break down the options and explain why "when" is the correct choice:
Option A: "when"
- "When" is used to refer to a specific time or period.
- In this context, it indicates the time at which the speaker and the person they're addressing went to the Chinese restaurant.
- This option is correct because it fits the sentence structure and conveys the intended meaning.
Option B: "whom"
- "Whom" is used as the object of a verb or preposition, usually referring to a person.
- In this context, "whom" is not appropriate because it does not refer to a time or period.
Option C: "which"
- "Which" is used to refer to a thing or things.
- In this context, the speaker is referring to a specific time, not a thing.
Option D: "who"
- "Who" is used to refer to a person or people.
- In this context, the speaker is referring to a time, not a person.
To summarize, the correct word to fill in the blank is "when" because it refers to a specific time or period.

Select the answer choice that identifies the noun in the sentence.
Sharks and lampreys are not true fish because their skeletons are made of cartilage rather than bone.
  • a)
    True
  • b)
    Because
  • c)
    Their
  • d)
    Bone
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Shilpa Choudhury answered
Bone is a noun. True (a) is an adjective modifying the noun fish. Because (b) is a conjunction. Their (c) is a plural possessive third-person pronoun modifying the noun skeletons.

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (d).
  • a)
    Regretfully, profits earned by your company
  • b)
    Fell by 20 percent last year
  • c)
    Despite higher sales 
  • d)
    No error
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Anirban Saini answered
Answer:
The grammatical error is in part (a) of the sentence.

Explanation:
The error in the sentence is the improper use of the verb tense. The word "earned" is in the past tense, but it should be in the present tense to match the verb tense of the sentence.

Corrected Sentence:
Regretfully, profits earn by your company fell by 20 percent last year despite higher sales.

Now, the verb "earn" is in the present tense, which matches the verb tense of the sentence. The sentence is grammatically correct.

Additional Information:
It is important to ensure that verb tenses are used correctly in a sentence. Verb tenses indicate the time at which an action happened or will happen. In this case, since the sentence is referring to last year, the verb tense should be in the past tense.

When checking for errors in a sentence, it is helpful to read each part of the sentence separately and determine if the verb tense is consistent. Verbs should match the subject and the context of the sentence.

The Following Question A Sentence Is Given, In Which a Word Has Been Highlighted (Underline). This Word Is Used as Different Parts of Speech in English Grammar, Four of Which Are Listed in The Options. Identify This Usage of The Word from The Options Given.
It has rained continuously for three days. 
  • a)
    Adjective
  • b)
    Adverb
  • c)
    Verb
  • d)
    None
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Aaditya Chawla answered
**Explanation:**

The word "continuously" in the given sentence is used as an adverb.

**Adverb:**
An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It tells us how, when, where, or to what extent an action is performed.

In the given sentence, the word "continuously" is modifying the verb "rained" by providing information about the manner in which the rain occurred. It tells us that the rain was ongoing and uninterrupted for three days.

Here's a breakdown of the sentence:

- "It" is a pronoun that serves as the subject of the sentence.
- "has rained" is the verb phrase, where "has" is the helping verb and "rained" is the main verb.
- "continuously" is the adverb that modifies the verb "rained," providing information about how the rain occurred.
- "for three days" is a prepositional phrase that provides additional information about the duration of the rain.

Therefore, the word "continuously" is used as an adverb in the given sentence.

Complete the sentence.
The van, ...... was stopped earlier today by police, turned out to be driven by the men suspected of last week's bank robbery.
  • a)
    who
  • b)
    whose
  • c)
    whom
  • d)
    which
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rishabh Majumdar answered
The correct answer is option 'D'.

Explanation:
The relative pronoun "which" is used to refer to things or animals. In this sentence, the van is a thing, so "which" is the appropriate pronoun to use.

Relative pronouns:
Relative pronouns are used to connect a clause or phrase to a noun or pronoun. They introduce relative clauses, which provide additional information about the noun or pronoun.

The relative pronouns in English are: who, whom, whose, which, and that.

Examples:
- The woman who lives next door is a doctor. (refers to a person)
- The book that I borrowed from the library is very interesting. (refers to a thing)
- The dog whose tail is wagging is very friendly. (refers to a possessive relationship)
- The car which was parked outside my house was stolen. (refers to a thing)
- The person whom I saw at the store was my neighbor. (refers to a person)

Usage of "which" in the given sentence:
In the given sentence, the van is the noun being referred to. The relative pronoun "which" is used to introduce additional information about the van.

The sentence is structured as follows:
- The van, (noun being referred to)
- which (relative pronoun)
- was stopped earlier today by police, (additional information about the van)
- turned out to be driven by the men suspected of last week's bank robbery. (additional information about the van)

Therefore, the correct relative pronoun to use in this sentence is "which."

Incorrect options:
a) "Who" is used to refer to people, not things. It is not appropriate to use in this sentence.
b) "Whose" is used to show possession, not to introduce additional information about a thing. It is not appropriate to use in this sentence.
c) "Whom" is used as the object of a verb or preposition, not to introduce additional information about a thing. It is not appropriate to use in this sentence.
