She is a very intelligent person.

  1. Her intelligence is great.

  2. She is an intelligent person.

  3. She is a person of great intelligence.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Option A is incorrect since the sentence has been changed. Option B is incorrect since "intelligent" is an adjective in the sentence. The noun form of "intelligent" is "intelligence" which is present in option C. Therefore, C is correct while option D is wrong.

Fill in the blank with a noun:

This test ______ the student's retention.

  1. will be evaluating

  2. evaluates

  3. is an evaluation of

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A verb is an action word. It describes the act of doing something in a sentence. 'Evaluate' is the verb given for the sentence. 

One of the ways of changing a verb into a noun is to add suffixes - tion and sion at the end of the word. Hence, 'evaluate' can be changed into the noun 'evaluation'. 
Thus, option C is the correct answer according to the rule. 

Fill in the blank with a suitable noun:
What you heard was not _____.

  1. completely true

  2. the complete truth

  3. true

  4. only true


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A verb is an action word. It describes the act of doing something in a sentence. 'True' is the verb given for the sentence. 

One of the ways of changing a verb into a noun is to add a determiner like 'the' or 'a' before a verb, which usually signifies the following word will be a noun. 
Thus, option B is the correct answer as 'the' determiner is added to make noun 'the complete truth'. 

Replace the adjective with the noun in the following:

My grandfather was a wealthy man.

  1. My grandfather was a man of wealth.

  2. My grandfather was wealthy.

  3. A wealthy man was my grandfather.

  4. My grandfather is a man of wealth.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or a pronoun. 'Wealthy' is the adjective given for the sentence. 

Adjectives are changed into nouns by slightly clipping the ending. Similar sounding words are created to find the missing noun. In the given sentence, 'wealth' is the noun made from adjective 'wealthy'. 
Thus, option A is the correct answer according to the rules.

Choose the appropriate noun form of the underlined verb to fill the blank: 
Take your own time while deciding what to do next. 
Do make sure your ___________ is the best for you and your family.

  1. deciding

  2. decision

  3. decition

  4. decide


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The word, 'deciding' is the present continuous form of the verb, 'decide'. Its abstract noun form is 'decision'. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect as the word, 'deciding' is either used as a verb in present continuous form (as in the given sentence) or as an adjective. However, it is not a noun. Example of its use as an adjective: "In the end, money was the 'deciding' factor". In this sentence, the adjective, 'deciding' describes the noun, 'factor'.
Option C is incorrect as there is no word such as 'decition' in English language. This word doesn't carry any meaning. 
Option D is incorrect as the word, 'decide' is a verb, not a noun.

Choose the appropriate noun form of the underlined adjective to fill the blank: 
The Great Wall of China is 21000 km long. It would take 18 months to walk along its entire __________.

  2. leongth

  3. longth

  4. length


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The abstract noun form of the adjective, 'long' is 'length. It means the measurement of something from end to end. Hence, option D is the correct answer. When used in the sentence, it means: "It would take 18 months to walk from one end of the of the Great Wall of China to the other".

Option A - A line is a long, narrow band or mark. As its meaning is different from the word, 'long' it is not the correct answer. 
Options B & C are incorrect as there is no word such as 'leongth' or 'longth' in English language.

  1. My teacher strongly influenzed my childhood.

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The word, 'influence' is an abstract noun which means: The capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behaviour of someone or something. The verb form for this word is also 'influence'. It means: 'Have an influence on something/somebody'. The past tense of influence is: influenced. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the main verb is "teaches" (teach).

Some verbs can be changed into noun by adding "-er" at the end. For example, the verb "play" becomes the noun "player". The noun form of the verb "teach" is "teacher".

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The word, 'regulation'' is a noun which means: A law, rule or other order prescribed by an authority (like the government). The related verb is 'regulate', which means: To control or direct by a rule, principle or method. The word 'regulates' is the present tense form of the verb, 'regulate' used when a third person singular noun is the subject.  In this case, the government is a third person, singular noun, which acts as the subject. Hence, option C is correct. 

Option A is incorrect as the word, 'regulations' is the plural form of the noun, 'regulation' and is not a verb.
Options B is incorrect as there is no word such as 'regulates' in the English language. It carries no meaning.

Option D is incorrect as option C is the correct answer. 

Replace the underlined noun with the appropriate verb in the below sentence:
Please do not have any doubt on my capability. 

  1. Please do not doubt my capability.

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The word, 'doubt' is an abstract noun which means a feeling of uncertainty about the truth, reality or nature of something. The associated verb is, 'doubt' which means to be uncertain about or to hesitate to believe or to consider something unlikely. Hence, option A is correct.


This sentence, being an imperative, should use the base form of the verb i.e doubt. However, in options B, C and D, different tenses of the verb, 'doubt' are used and hence all of them are grammatically incorrect. 
Optio B: The word, 'doubting' is the present continuous form of the verb, 'doubt'.
Option C: The word, 'doubted' is the past tense form of the verb, 'doubt'.
Option D: The word, 'doubts' is the present tense form of the verb, 'doubt'.
Hence, options B, C and D are incorrect.

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The word, 'investment' is a noun, whose verb form is 'invest'. Its past tense is 'invested', which means: Spent a lot of money to buy something which is likely to be profitable in future. The sentence, 'Mr. John has invested heavily in our business' as mentioned in option C is grammatically correct. 

Option A: Here, the continuous present tense form of the verb i.e. 'investing' has been used. However, it is used in the place of a noun. Hence, this is grammatically incorrect. 
Option B: The word, 'investigation' is a noun which refers to the process of conducting a systematic inquiry to examine facts and establish a truth. It is not a verb. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
Option D: The words, 'has heavily investing' is grammatically incorrect. The auxiliary verb, 'has' is to be used along with the participle form i.e 'invested'; Example: 'has heavily invested'. It cannot be used with the present continuous form i.e 'investing'. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Replace the underlined noun with the appropriate verb in the below sentence:

  1. The villagers petitionated the government.

  3. The villagers submitted a petitioning to the government.

  4. The villagers petitioning to the government.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The word, 'petition' is a noun, whose verb form is also 'petition'. Its past tense is 'petitioned' which means: Presented a formal written and signed request to an authority in respect of a particular cause. Hence, the sentence, 'The villagers petitioned the government' as used in option B is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect as there is no word such as ' petitionated' in English language. It carries no meaning.
Option C: The word, 'petitioning' is the present continuous tense of the verb, 'petition'. In this option, 'petitioning' is used as a noun. Hence this option is incorrect. 
In option D, the present continuous form of the verb is used. It is grammatically incorrect as the auxiliary verb, 'are' is missing. Further the original sentence is in simple past tense. Hence, the sentence with the verb form should also be in past tense. Hence, this option is incorrect.
