Answers
Primary 4 English Quiz - Vocabulary (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 20
Section A: Vocabulary MCQ (10 marks)
Question 1 (1 mark)
Answer: (2) diced
Explanation: "Diced" means to cut food into small cubes. This is the precise culinary term for cutting vegetables into tiny cubes. "Sliced" means cutting into thin flat pieces, "chopped" means cutting into rough pieces, and "minced" means cutting into very fine pieces (smaller than diced).
Question 2 (1 mark)
Answer: (2) soggy
Explanation: "Soggy" describes ground that is wet and soft, making it unpleasant to walk or play on. "Damp" means slightly wet, "moist" means slightly damp (often positive), and "humid" describes air with high moisture content, not ground.
Question 3 (1 mark)
Answer: (1) fascinating
Explanation: "Fascinating" means extremely interesting and holding one's attention completely. The clue "I could listen to them for hours" suggests a stronger word than "interesting", "amusing" (funny), or "entertaining" (enjoyable).
Question 4 (1 mark)
Answer: (1) produced
Explanation: "Produced" means to bring something forth or make it appear, often used in performance contexts (magic shows). "Created" implies making something new, "manufactured" means made in a factory, and "constructed" means built/assembled.
Question 5 (1 mark)
Answer: (3) water
Explanation: "Water" is the standard verb for giving water to plants. "Splash" and "spray" describe how liquid is scattered, not the act of caring for plants. "Soak" means to make something thoroughly wet, which could harm plants if done daily.
Question 6 (1 mark)
Answer: (4) unstable
Explanation: "Unstable" means not firm or steady, likely to collapse or give way — the best fit for a bridge that "might collapse soon". "Weak" lacks strength, "fragile" means easily broken (delicate), and "shaky" means trembling — all less precise for a structural engineering context.
Question 7 (1 mark)
Answer: (2) delighted
Explanation: "Delighted" means very pleased, a stronger emotion than "happy", "pleased", or "glad". Winning first prize in a competition typically evokes strong joy.
Question 8 (1 mark)
Answer: (2) examined
Explanation: "Examined" means to inspect closely and carefully, which is what a detective does with clues. "Looked at" is too general, "observed" means watched carefully (often from a distance), and "watched" implies observing over time.
Question 9 (1 mark)
Answer: (3) put away
Explanation: "Put away" is the phrasal verb meaning to return something to its proper storage place. "Keep" means retain, "store" is more formal and usually for longer periods, and "arrange" means to organise neatly — not necessarily storing.
Question 10 (1 mark)
Answer: (1) ruins
Explanation: "Ruins" refers to the remaining parts of a destroyed ancient building. "Remains" is more general (can be any leftover parts), "debris" means scattered waste material, and "wreckage" refers to badly damaged vehicles or structures (usually from accidents).
Section B: Vocabulary in Context (5 marks)
Question 11 (1 mark)
Answer: announced
Explanation: "Announced" means to make a formal public statement. The principal formally declares the winner at a school assembly.
Question 12 (1 mark)
Answer: whispered
Explanation: "Whispered" means to speak very quietly. Jane speaks in disbelief quietly ("Me?") because the hall is silent ("hear a pin drop").
Question 13 (1 mark)
Answer: shouted
Explanation: "Shouted" means to speak loudly. The best friend expresses excitement loudly, contrasting with the quiet hall.
Question 14 (1 mark)
Answer: murmured
Explanation: "Murmured" means to speak softly and indistinctly. The teacher speaks softly ("softly" is a clue in the sentence) to congratulate Jane.
Question 15 (1 mark)
Answer: replied
Explanation: "Replied" means to respond. The crowd responds to the announcement with applause. (Note: "erupted" would also fit contextually but is not in the word box; "replied" is the only remaining option that can work metaphorically for a collective response.)
Section C: Word Forms and Collocations (5 marks)
Question 16 (1 mark)
Answer: (2) construction
Explanation: The sentence needs a noun after "The" and before "of". "Construction" (noun) = the action of building. "Construct" is a verb, "constructive" is an adjective, "constructor" is a person who builds.
Question 17 (1 mark)
Answer: (3) breakable
Explanation: The sentence needs an adjective after "very" to describe the vase. "Breakable" (adjective) = able to be broken. "Break" is a verb/noun, "breaking" is a gerund/participle, "broken" is a past participle (would mean already broken).
Question 18 (1 mark)
Answer: (2) discovery
Explanation: The sentence needs a noun after "an important". "Discovery" (noun) = the act of finding something new. "Discover" is a verb, "discoverer" is a person, "discoverable" is an adjective.
Question 19 (1 mark)
Answer: (2) put out
Explanation: "Put out" is the phrasal verb meaning to extinguish a fire. "Put off" = postpone, "put away" = store, "put up" = erect/accommodate.
Question 20 (1 mark)
Answer: (3) seize
Explanation: "Seize the opportunity" is a strong collocation meaning to take advantage of an opportunity eagerly and decisively. "Take the opportunity" is possible but weaker; "make the opportunity" and "grab the opportunity" are less standard collocations (though "grab" is sometimes used informally).
Marking Notes:
- Each question carries 1 mark.
- No half marks awarded.
- For Section B, spelling must be exact (words from the box).
- Common mistakes to watch for:
- Confusing "ruins" vs "remains" (Q10)
- Choosing verb forms instead of nouns in Q16–18
- Not recognising phrasal verb collocations (Q19–20)
