Sample questions with answers

One from each section, taken from Sprinto's own bank for IEO Class 7. In the app the numbers, names and figures are different every time; these are fixed so you can read them.

  1. Sample 1 · Section 1: Word and Structure Knowledge · Grammar — modals, tenses, voice, narration, word order

    Choose the correct option to fill in the blank.

    We ___ that film already, so let us choose another.

    Answer: (C) have seen

    *Already*, with the present still in view, takes the present perfect.

  2. Sample 2 · Section 2: Reading · Reading — news stories, brochures, advertisements, biographies

    Advertisement: weekend cycle clinic

    THE WEEKEND CYCLE CLINIC Bring your bicycle. Leave with it working. Every Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., behind the community hall on Second Cross Road. • Brakes checked and adjusted — free • Punctures mended — ₹ 20 • Chain cleaned and oiled — ₹ 15 • Wheels straightened — ₹ 40 All work is done while you wait, usually in under twenty minutes. Our mechanics are students of the polytechnic, and every rupee we take goes towards the cost of tools. No appointment is needed. Come early: on most Sundays the queue closes by noon.

    Why does the advertisement tell readers to come early?

    Answer: (D) Because more people arrive than can be attended to

    If the queue has to close by noon on most Sundays, more people come than can be served.

  3. Sample 3 · Section 3: Spoken and Written Expression · Spoken and Written Expression

    Choose the correct option to complete the conversation.

    He explained the diagram so that even the youngest understood.

    Yes, he explained it ___.

    Answer: (C) clearly

    An explanation everyone follows is a **clear** one.

  4. Sample 4 · Section 4: Achievers Section · Grammar — modals, tenses, voice, narration, word order · Achievers difficulty

    Choose the option that correctly fills both blanks.

    The mural, which ___ by a local artist, ___ every visitor who enters the hall.

    Answer: (B) was painted, delights

    The mural received the painting (**was painted**) but *does* the delighting, so the second verb is active: **delights**.
