Test: Determiners- 1 - Class 10 MCQ

The correct answer is D: Each other.

The given sentence, "They have always helped __________," is missing a phrase to convey the idea of mutual assistance between individuals. Among the given options, "each other" fits best in this context:

- A: Another - This option refers to helping a single, unspecified individual, which does not fit the context of mutual assistance.
- B: Several - This option implies helping multiple people, but not necessarily in a reciprocal manner.
- C: All - This option is too general and does not convey the idea of mutual assistance.
- D: Each other - This option perfectly fits the context, as it implies that the individuals involved are helping one another in a mutual manner.

So, the complete sentence should be: "They have always helped each other."

In this sentence, the correct answer is "The" (Option A) because:

- "The" is a definite article, used to refer to a specific, known person or thing. In this context, it refers to a specific head of the family.
- "A" is an indefinite article, used to refer to a non-specific person or thing. It is not appropriate here because it would suggest that there is more than one head of the family, which is not the case.
- "Either" and "All" are not appropriate articles to use in this context, as they do not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

So, the correct sentence would be: "He is the head of the family."

Explanation:

The given sentence is discussing the sufficiency of the evidence to prove someone's innocence. Among the given options, "enough" is the most suitable word to use in this context. Below, I have provided the reasons behind the selection of "enough" and the exclusion of the other options:

- Option A (Many): "Many" indicates a large number of something, but it does not convey the idea of sufficiency. Therefore, it is not the best choice in this context.
- Option B (All): "All" means every single one, which is not relevant to the given context. The focus is on the adequacy of the evidence, not whether or not every single piece of evidence is present.
- Option C (Either): "Either" is used to indicate a choice between two alternatives, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
- Option D (Enough): "Enough" indicates that there is a sufficient amount of evidence to prove innocence, making it the most appropriate choice for the given context.

In conclusion, the correct and most suitable option for completing the sentence is Option (D): "He has enough evidence to prove his innocence."

 

Many

The correct phrase to use in this context is "many businessmen." "Many" is a determiner that is used to refer to a large number of people or things. "Many a" is an old-fashioned phrase that is used to refer to a large number of things, but it is not commonly used in modern English. "Most" is a determiner that is used to refer to the majority of people or things in a group. "Enough" is an adjective that is used to indicate that there is a sufficient quantity or number of something. In this sentence, "many" is the correct determiner to use to indicate that there are a large number of businessmen who want to be rich.

Answer:
The correct option is A: "The"
Explanation:
Indus is a major river in South Asia, flowing through Pakistan, India, and China. It is one of the longest rivers in Asia, with a total length of approximately 3,180 kilometers. The Indus river system is formed by several tributaries that contribute to its flow.
The statement "Indus has five main tributaries" indicates that there are five significant rivers that merge into the Indus river. These tributaries are important for the overall water flow and drainage of the Indus river system.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the options given:
- Option A: "The" - This is the correct option. It is grammatically correct and commonly used before a noun to indicate a specific thing or person.
- Option B: "A" - This option is incorrect because "Indus" is a specific river and not just any river.
- Option C: "An" - This option is incorrect because "Indus" starts with a consonant sound, so the indefinite article "an" is not appropriate.
- Option D: "All" - This option is incorrect because it implies that there are more than five tributaries, which contradicts the statement.
In conclusion, the correct option is A: "The," which accurately describes the five main tributaries of the Indus river.

Answer: D. No

Explanation:

The correct option is D because the sentence should read "She has done no mistake." In this context, "no" is used to emphasize that there were zero mistakes made by the person. The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

- A. None: "None" is typically used to indicate a complete absence of something, but it does not fit properly in this sentence structure.

- B. Any: "Any" is generally used in questions and negative statements, but the sentence structure should be different, for example, "She hasn't made any mistakes."

- C. Much: "Much" is mainly used with uncountable nouns to indicate a large quantity, and it is not appropriate in this context.

Answer: A. A few

Explanation:
- "A few" is used to indicate a small quantity of countable nouns.
- "Few" is used to indicate a small quantity of countable nouns with a negative connotation, implying that the quantity is smaller than expected or desired.
- "Little" is used to indicate a small amount or degree of uncountable nouns.
- "Much" is used with uncountable nouns to indicate a large amount or degree.

In this case, "exam copies" are countable nouns, so "A few" is the correct option to indicate a small quantity of unchecked exam copies.

 

Answer: C. Each

Explanation:

The correct answer is "Each" because it is used to refer to every one of two or more individual things or people. In this context, it indicates that both halves are equal. Here's a breakdown of why the other options are incorrect:

- A: Every - This option is incorrect because "every" is used when referring to all the members of a group. However, in this case, we are considering two distinct halves.
- B: All - Similar to "every," "all" is used when referring to every member of a group. It is not suitable for two distinct halves.
- D: None of the above - This option is incorrect because "each" is the correct choice for the given context.

 

Answer: A. A lot

Explanation:

The given sentence talks about the number of people the person met during his tours. When discussing the quantity of people, we can use the following options:

- A lot: implies meeting a large number of people
- Much: used for non-countable nouns, not suitable for people
- Little: implies meeting very few people, which does not fit the context
- Several: implies meeting a few, but not necessarily a large number

In this context, the best option is A. A lot, as it indicates that the person met a large number of people during his tours.

Explanation:
The given sentence is:

"Fortunately, ___________ of the children were hurt."
Let's analyze each option:

A: Few - This means that a small number of the children were hurt. It conveys a negative meaning, which is not suitable with the word "fortunately" that implies a positive outcome.

B: Some - This means that a certain number of the children were hurt. Again, it conveys a negative meaning which is not suitable with the word "fortunately."

C: None - This means that no children were hurt. It conveys a positive meaning and aligns with the word "fortunately." This is the correct option.

D: No - This option is grammatically incorrect and does not fit in the sentence.
