Test: The Sentence- 2 - Class 6 MCQ

An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb.
Option B is correct. Not only has the adverb "proudly" been replaced by an adverb phrase, it also retains the meaning of the original adverb. The adverb has been replaced by the adverb phrase "with pride".
Option A is incorrect. While the adverb "proudly" has been replaced by the adverb phrase "with pride", the adjective "golden" has been unnecessarily changed to "made of gold". The question asks only for the adverb to be replaced.
Option C is incorrect as it is not the adverb that has been replaced by an adverb phrase, but the adjective "golden" has been replaced by an adjective phrase.
Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in B.

The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. We can find the subject of a sentence if we can find the verb. In the given sentence the verb is 'need'. The people who 'need' is the subject of this sentence. Therefore option B, 'we', is the correct answer. 
Options A, C and D are incorrect answers because they are not the subject of this sentence, rather, they are the object, the independent clause and the adverb. 

From the given options, option D) can be ruled out as it doesn't make complete sense and hence the sentence is wrong. In option A) the subject 'they' should be at the beginning instead of the end and so that option is incorrect as well. In option C) the conjunction 'between' is not connecting two different parts of the sentence and its usage is wrong.
Option B) is the only one which is grammatically correct and the formation of the sentence is also proper. Hence B) is the correct answer. 

The jumbled words, when re-arranged to form a meaningful sentence is as under: 
Air taxi services will boost tourism in the state.
Hence, of the 4 options given, Option C is the correct answer. This is because the subject of the sentences is - "Air taxi services". When we ask the question: What do they do? The answer is: They boost tourism in the state. 
The reason why the other options are incorrect are as under:
Option A is incorrect words "air taxi" refers to a service. The word services is wrongly used after the word "state". 
Option B is incorrect because in this sentence, the word "boost" is a verb which means increase.  The phrase "Air taxi boost services" carries no meaning. It can also be observed that there is no verb in this sentence. What will "air taxi boost services"  (assuming the words refer to some kind of services) do to tourism in the state? There is no answer to this question.  This means this sentence is incomplete and does not communicate any meaning.
Option D is incorrect because it has an unclear source - which services will boost air taxi. Also the words "state air taxi" together do not convey any meaning. 

Option A is the correct answer. Man is the main topic of discussion in the sentence. Man is being talked about. Options B and C are objects to the verb attribute and the preposition to, respectively. Option D is the adverb clause, modifying the time of the verb could attribute. Hence, the subject of the given sentence is man. 

The subject is a noun, pronoun, or a noun phrase, that performs an action (in the active voice) in a sentence.
Option D: In the given sentence, 'Science' performs the action "cannot convincingly explain". It performs an action in the action, hence option D is correct.
Options A and B: 'The circumstances' is a part of the object "the circumstances of a man's birth and death". An object is a noun or noun phrase towards which an action is performed (in an active voice-sentence).
These options do not contain the subject, hence A and B are incorrect.
Option C: 'Science cannot convincingly' contains the subject, science, along with parts of the verb phrase, 'cannot convincingly'. Hence C isn't the correct option.
('Can' in 'cannot' is a modal verb, 'not' and 'convincingly' are both adverbs; they modify the verb 'explain'.)

The phrase “at the eleventh hour” means at the last possible moment or opportunity, before something is to commence. For example, “They reached at an agreement at the eleventh hour before project submission.” Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express this meaning, hence incorrect.

The phrase “carry out” means to execute a task as specified or to fulfil it as required. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.

Option C Ian the correct answer because “flotilla “ means a small fleet  of ships or boats. 
Option A is incorrect because “archipelago” means an extensive group of islands., hence it is incorrect. 
Option B is incorrect because “a flock” is a small group of birds resting and flying together, hence incorrect as not related .
Option D is incorrect because “to tug” means to pull something hardly or with force, hence it Ian incorrect. 

The phrase “beyond one’s means” means to exceed one’s budget. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express this meaning, hence incorrect.

The phrase “go bad” means getting spoiled or decayed, usually something biodegradable. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.

The phrase “put aside” means to temporarily stop paying attention to or to forget something. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not express this meaning, hence incorrect.

Gerunds are the words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. The words ending with -ing are gerunds. 
The given sentence uses 'read' verb to form gerund as -ing is used at the end of 'reading'. 'Reading books' is acting as a noun in the sentence. The participle phrase begins with a present or past participle and acts as an adjective in the sentence. 
Thus, option A is the correct answer. 

Mourn is a verb that expresses the feeling of sorrow for the death of someone or it is the feeling of regret or sadness about loss.
Mournful is an adjective which means feeling, expressing or inducing sadness, regret or grief.
Mourning is a gerund which is used in the expression of sorrow for someone's death.
Mourned is a verb which is the past participle form of 'mourn'.
So, from the given options, the most appropriate word that we can use in the sentence is 'mourning' as we are talking about the general feeling of the entire country and we cannot use a verb or an adjective in this case. Also, the word 'in' before the blank indicates that we need a noun. Although 'mourning' here acts as a gerund and not a noun, its function is that of a noun.

Here, the phrase 'good for' is correct as it implies 'beneficial to/for' something. Here, the old clothes are 'beneficial to' no one. 
To be 'good at' nothing is to be unable to do something well. 
To be 'good with' something is to be good at doing something. 
For the good of somebody/something implies in order to help someone or improve a situation.
