Free Parts of Speech MCQs with Answers

21. He is looking for accommodation __________ in flat or shared house.

• A. both
• B. until
• C. neither
• D. either

Explanation: “Either ... or” presents two alternatives, so the sentence should read “either in a flat or shared house.” “Both” would require “and,” not “or.”

22. The newly imposed rules sound very ___________.

• A. interesting
• B. interestingly
• C. interested
• D. interest

Explanation: Sound is a linking verb here, so it is followed by the adjective interesting, which describes the rules. Interestingly is an adverb, while interested normally describes a person who feels interest.

23. I am sick. "am" is ___________.

• A. Noun
• B. Pronoun
• C. Verb
• D. Adjective
• E. Adverb

Explanation: “Am” is a form of the verb “be”; here it links the subject “I” with the adjective “sick.” It is therefore a verb, specifically a linking verb.

24. He called me last night. "me" is

• A. Subject pronoun
• B. Reflexive pronoun
• C. Object pronoun
• D. Possessive pronoun

Explanation: “Me” receives the action of the verb “called,” so it functions as an object pronoun. Subject pronouns perform the action, as in “I called him.”

25. He __________ a lot of reading in his free time.

• A. does
• B. is
• C. reads
• D. doesn't

Explanation: The natural collocation is “do reading,” so the sentence takes “does” with the singular subject “he.” “Reads” would require a direct object or different structure, such as “He reads a lot.”

26. She prepares herself a note. What is " herself " according to grammar?

• A. Relative Pronoun
• B. Emphatic Pronoun
• C. Distributive Pronoun
• D. Reflexive Pronoun

Explanation: “Herself” refers back to the subject “she” and receives the action, so it is a reflexive pronoun. An emphatic pronoun only adds emphasis, as in “She herself prepared the note.”

27. May I give you_________advice?

• A. an
• B. some
• C. little
• D. one

Explanation: “Advice” is an uncountable noun, so it cannot be preceded by “an” or “one”; “some advice” is the correct form. “Little” would mean a small amount and would change the intended neutral meaning.

28. He wore multiple bracelets on __________hand.

• A. every
• B. each
• C. either
• D. neither

Explanation: Each refers separately to the two hands, so “on each hand” is correct. Every can modify singular countable nouns but is not natural with this two-item body-part expression.

29. The man ___________down the road is my brother.

• A. hurry
• B. hurried
• C. to hurry
• D. hurrying

Explanation: “Hurrying” is a present participle modifying “the man,” forming the phrase “the man hurrying down the road.” The other options do not fit this reduced relative construction.

30. I am very much __________to meet you.

• A. delight
• B. to delight
• C. delighting
• D. delighted

Explanation: After “I am,” the adjective “delighted” describes the speaker's feeling. “Delight” is a noun or verb, while “delighting” does not express the intended state.
