AMCAT Fill in the blanks Quiz-1

Answer - as they, here on
First blank:- here, 'as they' is the correct word. 'as' is used here in the sense of 'because'. The mentioned players are on the top of their games because they are great football players. 'They' is a subject pronoun, while 'them' is an object pronoun. Since the 'subject' is being referred to here, 'they' is the correct pronoun.
Second blank:- 'here on' fills the blank correctly. 'here' denotes a place that is near to the speaker or where the speaker is himself present. On the other hand, 'there' is used to specify a place that is far from the speaker. 'Where', the adverb, means 'in or to what place or position'. It is also inapplicable here. 'On' is the correct preposition because 'on' is used to specify the day, date or time.

Answer - 'As long as'
Using 'As long as' in the blank space to make the correct sentence.
The sentence means that the person will get the chocolates if he does the way the speaker told him to.

Answer - rights
A ‘right’ is a moral or legal entitlement to have or do something.
In the sentence, ‘rights’ is the correct word for the blank because the subject here had the feeling that ‘she’ had equal rights to the money but now she didn’t.
Other options are rejected because :
‘Liberty’ means a state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority.
‘Incompetency’ or ‘incompetence’ means unskilful or lack of skill.
‘Ineptness’ is a form of ‘Inept’ which means having or showing no skill; clumsy.

Correct Answer: whom
‘Whom’ is used instead of ‘who’ as the object of a verb or preposition. Eg - Whom did he marry?
Here, we have to use 'whom' to refer to the man..
Other options are rejected because:
‘Who’ is used to introduce a clause giving further information about a person or people previously mentioned.
‘Whose’ means belonging to or associated with which person.
‘Who’s’ is a contraction of ‘who is’ or ‘who has’ which is wrong.

Answer - Disturb
We have to use a verb in the simple present tense in the blank. The simple present tense is used when the action is going at the moment or is a habitual action.
The students disturb the speaker all the time so ‘disturb’ is in the simple present tense so it is the correct answer.
Other options are rejected because : ​
‘disturbed’ is the past tense and past participle of ‘disturb’.
‘Will disturb’ is in the Future tense which is used for an action that will occur in the future.
‘disturbs’ is a singular verb, it cannot be used with the plural subject students.

Solution:
First, we should understand the meaning of the words and then we can use the correct word to make it contextually meaningful.
Scrutiny means to observe or examine critically.
Observing means to notice something for a particular period.
Failure and statement do not fit with the context so they cannot be used here.
Since the word scrutiny makes the sentence complete and meaningful so it is correct.
Hence, option 1 is the correct word.

Solution:
The only grammatically correct part is ‘more of a fool’ which demonstrates the meaning that the person is a bigger fool than was thought to be. The other options fail to convey any meaning.
We are comparing two aspects of foolishness- one about which I am thinking and the other which he really is, is all the more evident through the use of the word 'more'.

Solution:
The correct option is, comes.
The given sentence is in the simple present tense as it uses the first form of the verb say which is says.
Therefore the second verb too must agree with the tense in the sentence.
Hence 'comes' is the correct form of the verb 'come' which should be used to fill the blank.
Option 2 is rejected as it is in the past tense and is grammatically incorrect in the sentence.
Option 3 is rejected as it is in the present perfect tense and is grammatically incorrect in the sentence.
Option 4 is rejected as it is in the continuous tense and is grammatically incorrect in the sentence.
The complete sentence is: “It’s a pity you can’t stay for dinner,” his mother says after a while as the meal comes to an end.

Explanation: The correct answer is C) Distance. The force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to the distance between them, meaning that as the distance increases, the force of gravity decreases.

Correct Option: B
A fine/penalty cannot be appointed.
Similarly, a penalty cannot be wrecked (destroyed)on someone.
Both slapped and imposed are synonyms and correct.
