Word and Structure Knowledge

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

Q1: Is there ___________ flour for bread in the cupboard?
(a) a few
(b) any
(c) lots
(d) several

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

Ans: (b)

  • The question is asking if there is a certain amount of flour available in the cupboard.
  • The correct word to use here is "any," which is used in questions to inquire about the presence of something.
  • Using "a few" or "lots" would not fit the context of the question, as they imply specific quantities rather than asking about availability.
  • Thus, the answer is "any," indicating that we are checking if there is some flour present.

Q2: The cricket match _________ next Sunday.
(a) was
(b) has
(c) will be
(d) will

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

Ans: (c)

  • The correct answer is will be because it indicates a future event.
  • In this context, we are talking about a match that is scheduled to happen next Sunday.
  • Options like was and has refer to past or present events, which do not fit here.
  • Thus, will be is the appropriate choice to express a future occurrence.

Q3: We need to form _____________ effective team to succeed in this competition.
(a) a
(b) an
(c) the
(d) several

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

Ans: (a)

  • In this sentence, we are looking for the correct article to use before the word "team".
  • The word "team" starts with a consonant sound, so we use "a" instead of "an".
  • "A" is the correct choice because it is used for singular nouns that begin with a consonant sound.
  • Using "the" would imply a specific team, and "some" is not appropriate in this context.

Q4: I encountered Divya _____________ the library some time back.
(a) on
(b) up
(c) at
(d) to

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

Ans: (c)

  • The correct preposition to use in this context is "at". It indicates a specific location where the meeting took place.

Q5: Rahul _____________ to the market with his dad yesterday.
(a) go
(b) went
(c) gone
(d) going

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

Ans: (b)

  • The correct answer is went, which is the past tense of the verb go. This indicates that the action of going to the market happened yesterday.
  • Option go is in the present tense, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
  • Gone is the past participle form and cannot be used alone in this sentence.
  • Going is the present participle and also does not match the past context.

Q6: My cat enjoys to _____________ milk.
(a) drank
(b) drink
(c) drinking
(d) sips

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

Ans: (b)

  • The correct form here is "drink" because it follows the verb "likes."
  • In English, after verbs like "likes," we use the base form of the verb, which is "drink" in this case.
  • Options like "drank" and "drinking" are incorrect because they do not fit grammatically after "likes."
  • Thus, the sentence should read: "My cat likes to drink milk."

Q7: It’s not your fault. It’s _____________.
(a) her
(b) my
(c) mine
(d) us

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

Ans: (c)

  • The correct answer is mine because it indicates possession. In this context, it means that the fault belongs to the speaker.
  • Her and my do not fit grammatically in this sentence as they do not show possession correctly in this context.
  • Me is also incorrect because it is an object pronoun, not a possessive form.
  • Using mine clarifies that the responsibility or fault is attributed to the speaker, making it the right choice.

Q8: We talked about the issue _____________ with the team.
(a) really
(b) briefly
(c) cleanly
(d) quickly

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

Ans: (b)

  • The correct word to fill in the blank is briefly, which means to discuss something in a short and concise manner.
  • Using really would imply a level of intensity that doesn't fit the context of a discussion.
  • Cleanly suggests a neatness that is not relevant here, while quickly implies speed rather than brevity.
  • Thus, briefly is the best choice as it accurately describes a short discussion.

Q9:  _____________ are you going out with?
(a) Who
(b) What
(c) When
(d) How

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

Ans: (a)

  • The question is asking for the person you are going out with.
  • "Who" is the correct choice because it refers to a person.
  • The other options like "What," "When," and "How" do not fit the context of asking about a person.
  • Thus, the correct answer is "Who."

  • Option (b) Oponant is incorrect due to the misspelling of the word.
  • Option (c) Oppununt is also a misspelling and does not represent the correct term.
  • Option (d) Opponant is another incorrect spelling of the word.

(a) Avidance
(b) Evidanse
(c) Evidence
(d) Evedance

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

Ans: (c)

  • The correct spelling is Evidence, which refers to information or proof that supports a claim.
  • Options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect spellings and do not represent the word meaning 'proof'.
  • Understanding the correct spelling is important for clear communication, especially in legal and academic contexts.
  • Always remember that Evidence is the term used to validate facts or assertions.

Q14: Which word is a synonym for sensible?
(a) Conscious
(b) Ignorant
(c) Blissful
(d) Doubtful

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

Ans: (a)

  • The word sensible refers to being wise or having good judgment.
  • The correct synonym is conscious, which means being aware and able to make thoughtful decisions.
  • In contrast, ignorant means lacking knowledge, blissful refers to extreme happiness, and doubtful indicates uncertainty.
  • Thus, conscious is the best match for the meaning of sensible.

Q15: Which word is the opposite of privilege?
(a) Benefit
(b) License
(c) Disadvantage
(d) Opportunity

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

Ans: (c)

  • The term privilege refers to a special right or advantage.
  • The correct antonym is disadvantage, which means a condition that puts one in an unfavorable position.
  • Benefit and license suggest positive aspects, while opportunity does not convey the opposite meaning.
  • Thus, disadvantage is the best choice as it directly contrasts with the idea of having a privilege.

Lake Baikal is a huge lake in Siberia, Russia. It is the biggest fresh water reservoir in the world. The lake is near Irkutsk. Somewhat crescent shaped, it is in the southern Siberia area of Russia. The lake is completely surrounded by mountains. 
Baikal is about 636 kilometres long. It is 20 to 80 kilometres wide. At its deepest point, it is 1,700 metres deep. With this depth, it is the deepest lake on Earth. The lake is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It holds about 20% of the world’s unfrozen surface fresh water. The word baikal means “rich lake”, explaining the rich plants and animals found in the lake. There are more than 2,600 species of plants and animals. Of the 50 species of fishes, the most numerous are bullheads. Also abundant are the omul, salmon and lake whitefish. 
Baikal’s age is 25–30 million years: it is one of the oldest lakes. More than 300 streams and rivers feed into Lake Baikal like Reka and Vitim rivers, but the Angara River is the only outlet. The Selenga River is the largest source of water coming into Lake Baikal. Flowing north from Mongolia, it contributes nearly 50 percent of the lake’s water. Lake Baikal may be warmer than other parts of Siberia, but in the winter it still gets very cold. The average air temperature in winter is minus 21 degrees celsius. Despite its size, Lake Baikal freezes over in the winter and usually melts in May or June.

(a) fish
(b) plants
(c) fresh water
(d) salt water

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

Ans: (c)

  • Lake Baikal is known as the largest freshwater lake in the world by volume.
  • It holds about 20% of the world's unfrozen surface freshwater.
  • This makes it a crucial resource for biodiversity and human consumption.
  • Unlike saltwater lakes, Lake Baikal is not salty, which is why it is classified as a freshwater reservoir.

(a) lake
(b) rich lake
(c) fresh lake
(d) warm lake

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

Ans: (b)

  • Baikal refers to a specific lake, known for its depth and unique features.
  • The term "rich lake" highlights the lake's abundant biodiversity and resources.
  • While "lake" is a general term, "rich lake" specifically describes Baikal's significance.
  • Other options like "fresh lake" and "warm lake" do not accurately capture the essence of Baikal.

Q18: Which type of fish is the most abundant in Lake Baikal?
(a) Omul
(b) Salmon
(c) Bullheads
(d) Lake whitefish

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

Ans: (c)

  • Bullheads are the most numerous fish species in Lake Baikal, which is known for its unique biodiversity.
  • Lake Baikal is the world's deepest and oldest freshwater lake, home to many endemic species.
  • While other fish like Omul and Salmon are present, they are not as abundant as Bullheads.
  • This abundance is crucial for the lake's ecosystem and supports local fishing communities.

Q19: The _________ River is the largest source of water coming into Lake Baikal.
(a) Angara
(b) Selenga
(c) Reka
(d) Vitim

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

Ans: (b)

  • The Selenga River is known as the largest contributor of water to Lake Baikal.
  • It flows from Mongolia into Russia, making it a significant river in the region.
  • Other rivers like Angara, Reka, and Vitim do not provide as much water to the lake.
  • Understanding the importance of the Selenga helps in appreciating the ecology of Lake Baikal.

Q20: The average air temperature of Lake Baikal in winter is ________.
(a) –10°C
(b) –25°C
(c) 20°C
(d) –21°C 

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

Ans: (d)

  • Lake Baikal is known for its extremely cold temperatures during winter.
  • The average air temperature can drop significantly, often reaching around –21°C.
  • While options like –10°C and 20°C are too warm, –25°C is even colder than the average.

Read the Passage and Answer the Questions That Follow. (Question 21 to 25)
Partridges, medium-sized birds live in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. They live in places such as moors, grasslands and farmlands. They feed mostly on seeds, and build their nests on the ground. This means their nests are not very safe from predators such as foxes. Partridges use their camouflage to make it difficult for predators to see them and their nests. Once one of the most familiar birds of the British countryside, their numbers have declined by as much as 80% in the last 30 years. 
There are three different species of true partridges, the Grey, Daurian, and Tibetan partridge. All three species are relatively similar in shape, size, and color. Their plumage (feathers) is light colored and normally grey, tan, white, and black. 
Partridges lay the biggest clutches of any birds, with 14 to 15 eggs usual, and even bigger clutches often recorded. Partridges form pairs early in the year, and these birds will stay together until the autumn. These are social birds and live in groups known as “coveys”. The young ones can feed as soon as they leave the nest, and are capable of their first proper flight at 15 days. Young chicks require a high proportion of insects in their diet: it is the lack of insects in the modern countryside that has led to the birds’ widespread decline. They are highly sedentary birds, seldom moving far from where they hatched.

Q21: Partridges inhabit environments such as _______, grasslands, and agricultural areas.
(a) ground
(b) trees
(c) moors
(d) underground

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

Ans: (c)

  • Partridges are commonly found in moors, which are open, uncultivated uplands.
  • They also thrive in grasslands and farmlands, which provide ample food and shelter.
  • While they may be near ground or trees, these are not their primary habitats.
  • Understanding their habitat helps in conservation efforts and appreciating their role in the ecosystem.

Q22: Partridges' nests are not very secure from predators due to the fact that they __________.
(a) feed primarily on seeds
(b) lay a large number of eggs
(c) construct their nests on the ground
(d) create their nests in the bushes

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

Ans: (c)

  • Partridges often build their nests on the ground, which makes them more vulnerable to predators.
  • Nests on the ground are easier for animals to find compared to those in trees or bushes.
  • While laying many eggs or feeding on seeds may be part of their behavior, it is the location of the nest that primarily affects its safety.
  • Thus, the correct answer is that they build their nests on the ground.

Q23: In the past three decades, the number of partridges has decreased by __________.
(a) 50%
(b) 80%
(c) 18%
(d) 10%

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

Ans: (b)

  • The population of partridges has seen a significant decline over the last 30 years.
  • According to studies, this decline is estimated to be around 80%, indicating a serious concern for their conservation.
  • This drastic reduction highlights the impact of environmental changes and human activities on wildlife.
  • Understanding these trends is crucial for implementing effective conservation strategies.

Q24: The partridges that form pairs remain together from early in the year until _________.
(a) August
(b) winter
(c) autumn
(d) spring

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

Ans: (c)

  • The correct answer is autumn. Partridges that form pairs typically stay together until the autumn season.

Q25: Young partridges’ diet needs a lot of ________.
(a) seeds
(b) milk
(c) insects
(d) fruits

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

Ans: (c)

  • The diet of young partridges is primarily composed of insects. This is crucial for their growth and development.
  • Insects provide essential proteins and nutrients that are vital for young birds.
  • While seeds and leaves are also part of their diet, insects are particularly important during their early stages.
  • Thus, ensuring a good supply of insects is key to raising healthy partridges.

  • This is good news is the appropriate response to express happiness about Ram's achievement.

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

(a) much
(b) many
(c) less
(d) often

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

Ans: (d)

  • The question is asking about the frequency of visits to the library.
  • The correct word to use here is "often," which indicates how many times something happens.
  • "Much" and "many" are not suitable for this context, as they refer to quantity rather than frequency.
  • Thus, the answer is "often," meaning Geet goes to the library twice a week.

Achievers Section

Choose the Correct Option to Fill in the Blank. (Question 31 to 32)
Q31: I was _____________ to wake my brother up this morning by my mother.
(a) ask
(b) asking
(c) asked
(d) asks

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

Ans: (c)

  • The correct word to fill in the blank is "asked". This is because the sentence is in the past tense, indicating that the action of waking up the brother happened earlier.
  • The word "asked" is the past participle form of the verb, which is used here to show that the mother requested the action to be done.
  • Options "ask" and "asks" are not suitable as they do not match the past tense context.
  • "Asking" is also incorrect because it implies an ongoing action, which does not fit the sentence structure.

(d) at

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

  • The correct preposition here is from, indicating that Anna took something out of the drawer.

(d) is incorrect. 

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

  • The error in the sentence is in option (b), where it says "at the mistakes of." The correct phrase should be "at others' mistakes" to indicate possession.

  • Thus, the sentence should read: "Some individuals laugh at others' mistakes, which is incorrect."
  • It's important to use the correct form to convey the intended meaning clearly.
