1
Choose the correct synonym of the word BENEVOLENT:
A
Hostile
B
Charitable
C
Arrogant
D
Indifferent
Benevolent means well-meaning and kind. Its correct synonym is Charitable (generously giving to those in need). Hostile means unfriendly; Arrogant means self-important.
2
Choose the correct antonym of the word VERBOSE:
A
Talkative
B
Wordy
C
Concise
D
Elaborate
Verbose means using more words than needed. Its antonym is Concise — expressing much in few words. Wordy and Elaborate are synonyms of verbose.
3
Fill in the blank: He was accused _______ theft by his employer.
A
of
B
for
C
with
D
by
The correct preposition after "accused" is of. "Accused of theft" is the standard idiomatic usage in English.
4
Convert to Passive Voice: "The teacher is explaining the lesson."
A
The lesson was being explained by the teacher.
B
The lesson has been explained by the teacher.
C
The lesson is explained by the teacher.
D
The lesson is being explained by the teacher.
Present Continuous Active (is + V-ing) converts to Passive as: is/am/are + being + past participle. So "The lesson is being explained by the teacher" is correct.
5
Identify the correct meaning of the idiom: "Bite the bullet"
A
To eat hastily
B
To endure a painful situation with courage
C
To make a quick decision
D
To avoid responsibility
"Bite the bullet" means to endure a painful or difficult situation with courage and stoicism. Originated from pre-anaesthesia surgery where soldiers bit bullets to bear pain.
6
Choose the word that is correctly spelt:
A
Accomodation
B
Occurence
C
Occurrence
D
Ocurrence
The correct spelling is Occurrence (double 'c', double 'r'). Accommodation also has double 'c' and double 'm' — a common spelling trap.
7
Convert to Indirect Speech: She said, "I am going to the market."
A
She said that she was going to the market.
B
She said that she is going to the market.
C
She told that I am going to the market.
D
She said that I was going to the market.
In indirect speech, present continuous (am going) shifts to past continuous (was going), and "I" changes to "she". Correct: "She said that she was going to the market."
8
Select the correct form: Neither the students nor the teacher _______ present today.
A
are
B
were
C
have been
D
is
With neither...nor, the verb agrees with the subject closer to it (the teacher = singular). So the correct verb is is.
9
Choose the correct homophone for the word PRINCIPLE:
A
Principel
B
Principal
C
Principall
D
Princible
Principal (head of a school / most important) and Principle (a rule or belief) are homophones — they sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.
10
Identify the figure of speech: "The wind whispered through the trees."
A
Simile
B
Metaphor
C
Personification
D
Alliteration
Personification gives human qualities (whispering) to a non-human thing (wind). Simile uses like/as; Metaphor directly equates two things; Alliteration repeats consonant sounds.
11
Fill in the blank with the correct article: _______ honest man is always respected.
A
An
B
A
C
The
D
No article needed
The word "honest" begins with a silent 'h' and a vowel sound /ɒ/. We use "An" before words that begin with a vowel sound, regardless of the spelling. Hence "An honest man".
12
Choose the correct sentence:
A
He don't know the answer.
B
She have completed her homework.
C
They was playing cricket.
D
He doesn't know the answer.
For third-person singular (He/She/It), we use doesn't not "don't". Options B and C have subject-verb disagreement errors. Option D is the only grammatically correct sentence.
13
Which sentence uses the word EFFECT correctly?
A
The medicine will effect his recovery.
B
The effect of the medicine was immediate.
C
Pollution effects our health badly.
D
The rain has effect the crop production.
Effect is mostly a noun (the result). Affect is the verb (to influence). Only B uses "effect" correctly as a noun. In A and C, "affect" should be used.
14
Rearrange to form a meaningful sentence: always / is / honesty / the / policy / best
A
The best policy always is honesty.
B
Always honesty is the best policy.
C
Honesty is always the best policy.
D
The best policy is always honesty.
The correct and well-known proverb is: "Honesty is always the best policy." The subject (Honesty) comes first, followed by the verb, adverb, and predicate.
15
The modal verb that expresses strong obligation is:
A
Must
B
May
C
Can
D
Might
Must expresses strong obligation or necessity (You must wear a seatbelt). May expresses possibility/permission; Can expresses ability; Might expresses weak possibility.
16
Which word is the correct one-word substitute for: "A person who cannot be corrected"?
A
Insolvent
B
Infallible
C
Invincible
D
Incorrigible
Incorrigible means a person who cannot be corrected or reformed. Infallible = never wrong; Invincible = cannot be defeated; Insolvent = cannot pay debts.
17
Spot the error: "The committee have (A) decided to postpone (B) its (C) meeting indefinitely (D). No error."
A
have decided
B
No error — it is correct
C
its
D
indefinitely
In formal British English, collective nouns like "committee" can take either singular or plural verbs depending on context. "Have decided" (plural) and "its" (singular) are both acceptable; the sentence has no error.
18
Choose the correct punctuation: "She asked him _______ where he had been all evening"
A
,
B
!
C
.
D
?
This is an indirect question (she asked him where...), not a direct question. Indirect questions end with a full stop (.), not a question mark.
19
The clause "which I bought yesterday" in the sentence "The book, which I bought yesterday, is interesting" is a:
A
Non-defining relative clause
B
Defining relative clause
C
Noun clause
D
Adverbial clause
When a relative clause is separated by commas and gives additional (non-essential) information, it is a non-defining relative clause. The book is already identified — the clause just adds extra info.
20
Choose the best word to complete: The new policy will _______ the rights of all citizens.
A
diminish
B
curtail
C
undermine
D
safeguard
Safeguard means to protect or preserve. In context, a policy safeguarding rights is the only positive option. Diminish, curtail, and undermine all imply reducing or harming rights.
