Word and Structure Knowledge

Choose the Correct Option to Fill in the Blank. (Question 1 to 9)

Q1: I saw Sandra and Alice, they ___________ playing in the park.
(a) will
(b) was
(c) were
(d) have

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • The correct answer is were because it is the past tense form used for plural subjects like Sandra and Alice.
  • In this sentence, we are talking about an action that happened in the past, which is why we use were instead of was or will.
  • Was is singular and would not fit with the plural subject.
  • Will indicates future tense, which is not appropriate here.

Q2: The bee _________ the nectar from the flowers.
(a) sucked
(b) gave
(c) brushed
(d) send

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (a)

  • The correct word to fill in the blank is sucked, which means the bee draws in the nectar.
  • This action is essential for bees as they collect nectar to make honey.
  • The other options do not accurately describe what bees do with nectar.
  • For example, "gave" and "brushed" do not relate to the process of collecting nectar.

Q3: I am doing my homework. My mother is helping _____________.
(a) I
(b) his
(c) me
(d) my

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • The correct word to fill in the blank is me because it is the object of the verb helping.
  • In English, we use I when we are the subject of a sentence, but here, the mother is helping me.
  • So, the sentence correctly reads: "My mother is helping me." which makes sense.

Q4: __________ students always pay attention in the class.
(a) Heroic
(b) Ancient
(c) Intelligent
(d) Beautifully

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • The correct answer is Intelligent because intelligent students are typically more engaged and focused in their learning.
  • Heroic and ancient do not relate to paying attention in class.
  • Beautifully is an adverb and does not describe a type of student.
  • In summary, intelligent students are those who understand the importance of attention in class for better learning outcomes.

Q5: Your dress is very much similar _____________ mine.
(a) too
(b) with
(c) for
(d) to 

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (d)

  • The correct phrase is "similar to," which indicates a comparison between two things.
  • Using "to" shows the relationship between "your dress" and "mine."
  • Other options like "too," "with," and "for" do not fit grammatically in this context.
  • Thus, "to" is the only correct choice for completing the sentence accurately.

Q6: It started raining _____________ we were waiting for the bus.
(a) or
(b) while
(c) because
(d) although

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • The correct word to fill in the blank is while. This indicates that two actions were happening at the same time: it was raining and we were waiting for the bus.
  • Using while shows a simultaneous occurrence, which is appropriate in this context.
  • Other options like or, because, and although do not fit the meaning of the sentence as they imply different relationships between the actions.
  • Thus, while is the best choice to convey that both actions were happening together.

Q7: Monika arrived _____________ for her singing class.
(a) an early
(b) most early
(c) earliest
(d) earlier

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (d)

  • In this sentence, we need to choose the correct form of the word to describe when Monika arrived.
  • The word "earlier" is the correct choice because it indicates that she arrived before the usual time.
  • "An early" and "most early" are incorrect because they do not fit grammatically in this context.
  • "Earliest" is also incorrect as it suggests she was the first, which is not what the sentence implies.

Q8: How many _____________ trophies did you receive in the most recent tournament?
(a) a
(b) an
(c) the
(d) no article

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (d)

  • The correct answer is "no article" because the word "trophies" is plural and does not require an article in this context.
  • When asking about the quantity of trophies in general, we do not need to specify with "a," "an," or "the."
  • Using "no article" is appropriate here as it refers to trophies in a general sense, not specific ones.
  • Thus, the sentence correctly conveys the idea without needing an article.

Q9: The boy was honoured for the _____________ he showed.
(a) brave
(b) bravely
(c) bravery
(d) courageousness

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • The correct answer is bravery, which is a noun that describes the quality of being brave.
  • In this context, the boy is being recognized for his courage and fearlessness.
  • Options like brave and bravely are not suitable here because they are an adjective and an adverb, respectively.
  • Courageousness is also a noun but is less commonly used than bravery.

Q10. I think this bag is her, she kept it down a while ago.
(a) I think this bag
(b) is her, she
(c) kept it
(d) down a while ago.

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans : (b)

  • The word "her" is incorrect in this context; it should be "hers" to show possession.
  • The correct sentence should be: "I think this bag is hers, she kept it down a while ago."

Q11. We need to discussed whether we go or not.
(a) We need
(b) to discussed
(c) whether we
(d) go or not.

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans : (b)

  • The word "discussed" is incorrect because it is in the past tense, but the context requires the base form of the verb, "discuss."
  • The correct sentence should be: "We need to discuss whether we go or not."

Q12: Choose the correct spelling of the word that signifies ability.
(a) Comeptence
(b) Competence
(c) Compitence
(d) Comptince

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • The word competence refers to the ability to do something successfully or efficiently.
  • Option (a) is a misspelling of the word.
  • Option (c) also contains a spelling error.
  • Option (d) is incorrect as well.
  • Thus, the correct spelling is competence, which is option (b).

Q13: Choose the correct spelling of the word that refers to a type of biscuit.
(a) Lidfinger
(b) Ladyfingers
(c) Fingerladies
(d) Ladypinger

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • The correct spelling is Ladyfingers, which is a type of biscuit.
  • Lidfinger, Fingerladies, and Ladypinger are incorrect spellings.
  • Ladyfingers are light, sweet sponge cakes that are often used in desserts like tiramisu.
  • Remember, the correct spelling is important for identifying the right food item.

Q14: Which word is a synonym for revamp?
(a) Destroy
(b) Ruin
(c) Slide
(d) Update

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (d)

  • The word revamp means to improve or renovate something.
  • Among the options, update is the best choice as it also means to make something more modern or improve it.
  • On the other hand, destroy and ruin imply making something worse, which is the opposite of revamping.
  • Slide does not relate to improvement, making it an incorrect option as well.

Q15: Which word is the opposite of evolve?
(a) Diminish
(b) Enjoy
(c) Expand
(d) Grow

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (a)

  • The word evolve means to develop or change gradually.
  • The correct antonym is diminish, which means to decrease or reduce in size or importance.
  • Enjoy, expand, and grow do not convey the opposite meaning of evolve.
  • Thus, the best choice for the opposite of evolve is diminish.

One of the world’s most famous rabbits, Darius has disappeared! The huge 4 feet 3-inches long Continental Giant, who has held the Guinness World Record for the “longest living rabbit” since 2010, vanished from his backyard in the village of Stoulton, England, on April 10, 2021. The local police, who are madly searching for Darius, believe he was stolen from his owner’s yard overnight on Saturday. 
To help locate the thieves, his concerned owner, Annette Edwards, is offering a £2,000 reward for anyone with information. In her appeal on Twitter, the 68-year-old pleaded for her pet’s safe return, saying that the 12-year-old rabbit was too old to breed. “It’s just so upsetting because he is such a lovable character,” she told The Telegraph.

Though now retired, Darius was once an international celebrity who was insured for $1.6 million and travelled with a bodyguard. He comes from an impressive lineage of record-breaking Continental Giants. They include his grandfather Roberto, who measured 3 feet 6 inches, grandmother Amy who came in at 4 feet, and his mother Alice, who, at 3 feet 3 inches, held the Guinness World Record before Darius took over in 2010. Once bred for meat, Continental Giant rabbits are now prized as intelligent and loving house pets, especially in the UK. As you may have guessed, the animals are not cheap to maintain. They need large enclosures and can gnaw their way through thousands of dollars of food.

Q16: Darius made it to Guinness World Record _________.
(a) in 2021
(b) in 2010
(c) on 10th April
(d) a few weeks ago

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • Darius achieved a significant milestone by making it into the Guinness World Record in the year 2010.
  • This accomplishment highlights his notable achievement during that time.
  • While other options mention different years or vague timeframes, 2010 is the specific year he was recognized.
  • Understanding the context of his achievement is important to appreciate the significance of this record.

Q17: The owner announced a/an _________ for anyone with information of the rabbit.
(a) job
(b) report
(c) reward
(d) prize

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • The correct answer is reward because it refers to something given in return for information or help.
  • A reward is typically offered to encourage people to provide useful information.
  • In this context, the owner is seeking assistance regarding the rabbit, hence a reward makes sense.
  • Options like job and report do not fit the context of offering something for information.

Q18: Darius, the rabbit belongs to the category of _________.
(a) animal with bodyguards
(b) Continental Giants
(c) celebrities
(d) lovable characters

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • Darius is known as a giant rabbit, specifically a member of the Continental Giants breed.
  • This breed is recognized for its large size and friendly nature.
  • Other options like "animal with bodyguards" and "celebrities" do not accurately describe Darius.
  • Thus, the correct classification for Darius is Continental Giants.

Q19: Alice, the rabbit was _________ long.
(a) 4 feet
(b) 3 feet 3 inches
(c) 3 feet 6 inches
(d) 4 feet 2 inches

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • The question asks for the length of Alice, the rabbit.
  • The correct answer is 3 feet 3 inches, which is option (b).
  • This means Alice is a bit longer than 3 feet but not quite 4 feet.
  • Other options either exceed this length or are shorter, making them incorrect.

Q20: The word ‘lineage’ in the last paragraph means ________.
(a) control
(b) lost
(c) pedigree
(d) influence

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • Lineage refers to a person's ancestry or family tree, which is closely related to the term pedigree.
  • It indicates the line of descent from an ancestor, showing how one is related to their family.
  • In contrast, options like control, lost, and influence do not convey the same meaning.
  • Thus, the correct answer is pedigree, as it directly relates to family lineage.

Read the Passage and Answer the Questions That Follow. (Question 21 to 25)
Riya’s school needed to have a fundraiser so they could earn enough money to buy more computers. Riya knew that many of her classmates’ families were from different countries around the world. They had many special traditions, spoke many different languages and ate many different types of food. Riya had a brilliant idea for the fundraiser! She suggested that every student could bring in his/her favourite dish and hold an ethnic dinner night. She knew parents and members of the community would be glad to pay money in order to try food from all over the world!
“That’s a great idea,” Riya’s teacher said.
“Let’s call it ‘Dinner around the World’.”
Riya brought in her favourite meal, chicken with mashed potatoes. Her friend Rosy was from Ethiopia, an African country. She brought in stewed meat with spices over rice pilaf with Ethiopian bread. Aslam, from Morocco, brought a dish of spiced grilled lamb over white rice with fried eggplant and hummus with pita bread.
Juan, from Mexico, brought chicken fajitas with Spanish rice and tortilla chips with cheese dip. Rahul, whose family is from India, brought in chicken curry over rice with raita, a sauce of yogurt mixed with cucumber. Anita, also from India and a vegetarian, brought a meal with no meat. She brought lentil soup, dinner rolls and a salad.
The fundraiser was a great success. Everyone enjoyed seeing, smelling and tasting food from so many different cultures.

Q21: Riya’s classmates were _______.
(a) from different countries
(b) from the same country
(c) of same traditions
(d) of same language group

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (a)

  • Riya's classmates came from various nations, indicating a diverse background.
  • This suggests that they had different cultures and experiences.
  • Options like "from the same country" or "of same traditions" imply a lack of diversity, which is not the case here.
  • Thus, the correct answer is that they were from different countries.

Q22: The concept for the fundraiser was to __________.
(a) host a dance party
(b) organize a musical concert
(c) offer food from various countries
(d) arrange a picnic

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • The fundraiser aimed to offer food from various countries, which is a great way to bring people together and celebrate different cultures.
  • Having a variety of international cuisines can attract more attendees and create a fun atmosphere.
  • While dance parties, musical concerts, and picnics are enjoyable, the focus here is specifically on the culinary experience.
  • This approach not only raises funds but also promotes community engagement through food.

Q23: The school required funds from the fundraiser to __________.
(a) taste different food
(b) purchase additional computers
(c) meet parents
(d) foster relationships among people

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • The school was looking to purchase additional computers. This indicates a need for upgrading technology for students.
  • Fundraisers are often organized to support such educational needs.
  • While meeting parents and creating bonds are important, they do not directly address the financial need for resources like computers.
  • Thus, the correct answer focuses on the specific goal of enhancing the school's technological capabilities.

Q24: Anita brought _________.
(a) chicken fajitas
(b) spiced grilled lamb
(c) lentil soup and dinner rolls
(d) beef stew

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • Correct answer is (c) lentil soup and dinner rolls. This option indicates a meal that includes both a soup and bread, which is a common combination.
  • Options (a) and (b) are different types of meat dishes, while (d) is a different type of stew.
  • The phrase "brought" suggests that Anita is providing food, and the combination in option (c) is a complete meal.
  • Thus, the best choice that fits the context of a meal is (c).

Q25: The word ‘ethnic’ in paragraph two means ________.
(a) rotational
(b) contribution
(c) cultural
(d) significant

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • The term ethnic refers to characteristics related to a specific culture or group of people.
  • In this context, it emphasizes the cultural aspects that define a community or society.
  • Options like rotational and contribution do not capture the essence of what ethnic signifies.
  • Thus, the correct answer is cultural, as it aligns with the meaning of the word in the paragraph.

Spoken and Written Expression

Choose the most suitable option to complete each conversation. (Question 26 to 30)

Q26: Seema: Could you hand me the stapler, please? Raj: Of course, here you ____________.
(a) go
(b) went
(c) gone
(d) going

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (a)

  • The correct answer is "go" because it is the appropriate response in the present tense.
  • Raj is offering the stapler right now, so he uses "go" to indicate that he is handing it over at this moment.
  • Options "went," "gone," and "going" do not fit the context of the sentence as they refer to different tenses or forms.
  • Thus, "go" is the only option that makes sense in this situation.

Q27: Rashi: Your new house looks magnificent.
 Riya: Thanks. But it did cost us an arm and a _____________.
(a) finger
(b) elbow
(c) leg
(d) foot

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • The phrase "cost us an arm and a leg" means that something was very expensive.
  • In this context, Riya is acknowledging the high cost of their new house.
  • While "finger," "elbow," and "foot" are parts of the body, only "leg" fits the common expression.
  • Thus, the correct answer is "leg," as it completes the idiom correctly.

Q28: Veer: How can I _____________ this? 

What a silly mistake!
(a) left
(b) miss
(c) ignoring
(d) imagined

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • The correct word to fill in the blank is miss. This means to fail to notice or to overlook something.
  • In this context, Veer is expressing regret about a silly mistake, indicating he did not pay attention to something important.
  • Options like left and imagined do not fit the context of making a mistake, while ignoring is not a suitable verb form here.
  • Thus, the best choice is miss, as it directly relates to the idea of making an error.

Q29: Mohan: Where do you put _____________? 
Rajeev: Mayapuri, Delhi.
(a) on
(b) at
(c) off
(d) up

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (d)

  • The correct answer is "up" because the phrase "put up" is commonly used when referring to placing something in a specific location.
  • In this context, "put up" suggests that something is being placed or positioned in Mayapuri, Delhi.
  • Other options like "on," "at," and "off" do not fit well with the context of the question.
  • Thus, "up" is the most appropriate choice for this sentence.

Q30: Shama: I _____________ to catch the last metro. 
Zara: You must hurry up.
(a) can
(b) need

(d) will

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • The correct word to fill in the blank is need. This indicates that Shama has an urgent requirement to catch the last metro.
  • Using need shows that there is a necessity for Shama to act quickly, which aligns with Zara's advice to hurry up.
  • Other options like can and should do not convey the same sense of urgency as need does.
  • Thus, the best choice here is need to express the urgency of the situation.

Q32: The match will be excellent _____________ we all play well.
(a) and
(b) but
(c) if
(d) so

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • The correct word to fill in the blank is if. This indicates a condition that needs to be met for the match to be excellent.
  • Using if suggests that the quality of the match depends on everyone playing well.
  • Other options like and, but, and so do not fit the context of a conditional statement.
  • Thus, the sentence conveys that the match's excellence is contingent upon good performance from all players.

Q33: Choose the Part of the Sentence That Has an Error. 
Ramesh thinks the money is more important than happiness.
(a) Ramesh thinks
(b) the money
(c) is more important
(d) than happiness.

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

Ans : (b)

  • The article "the" is unnecessary here because it refers to money in general, not something specific.
  • The correct sentence should be: "Ramesh thinks money is more important than happiness."
  • "The" is used when specifying a particular noun, but in this case, money is being discussed as a general concept.

Q34: Which of the following is the correct synonym for mania?

English Olympiad Model Test Paper - 1 | English Olympiad for Class 3  View Answer

  • The word mania refers to an intense enthusiasm or obsession about something.

  • The phrase "I wish I had gone" indicates a regret about not attending the concert.

  • Options like "was going" and "went" do not express the same regret about a missed opportunity.
  • This structure is commonly used in English to express wishes about past events.
