Adjective
71. I am not interested in __________ of those options.
  • B. neither
  • C. any
  • D. some
  • A. either
Answer: 'Either' is used with a negative verb ('am not') to mean 'not one or the other' of two options. 'Neither' would require a positive verb (e.g., 'Neither option is interesting').
72. It was an __________ decision to make.
  • C. ease
  • A. easy
  • D. easier
  • B. easily
Answer: An adjective ('easy') is needed to describe the noun 'decision'. The article 'an' is a clue that the next word starts with a vowel sound.
73. The police found __________ evidence at the crime scene.
  • B. no
  • D. several
  • C. a few
  • A. many
Answer: 'Evidence' is an uncountable noun. 'No' can be used as a determiner with both countable and uncountable nouns. 'Many', 'a few', and 'several' are for countable nouns.
74. His conduct was __________.
  • C. admirable
  • D. admirably
  • A. admiration
  • B. admire
Answer: After the linking verb 'was', an adjective is needed to describe the noun 'conduct'. 'Admirable' is the correct adjective.
75. This is a __________ documented case.
  • A. good
  • D. best
  • C. better
  • B. well
Answer: Here, 'well' is an adverb that modifies the participle 'documented', which is acting as an adjective. 'Good' is an adjective and cannot modify another adjective.
76. The __________ man deserves our respect.
  • A. poor
  • B. poorer
  • C. poors
  • D. the poor
Answer: The sentence needs a simple adjective to describe the noun 'man'. 'The poor' is used to refer to poor people as a group (e.g., 'The poor need help').
77. It is __________ hot to go outside.
  • D. too
  • A. much
  • B. very
  • C. so
Answer: The structure 'too + adjective + to + infinitive' indicates that the degree of the adjective prevents the action. It's so hot that one cannot go outside.
78. The audience was __________ with the performance.
  • B. disappointed
  • C. disappointment
  • A. disappointing
  • D. disappoint
Answer: The adjective 'disappointed' describes how the audience felt. The performance itself was 'disappointing'.
79. He has __________ knowledge than I do about this topic.
  • D. most
  • C. much
  • B. many
  • A. more
Answer: 'Knowledge' is an uncountable noun. The sentence is a comparison, so the comparative form 'more' is used. 'More' is the comparative of both 'much' and 'many'.
80. She is the __________ girl in her class.
  • A. beautifulest
  • B. more beautiful
  • C. most beautiful
  • D. beautiful
Answer: To form the superlative of a multi-syllable adjective like 'beautiful', we use 'most'.
