We listen to dialogues when we watch our favourite films.
Grammar 70 - Dialogue Completion
Most of us will have come across dialogues in our everyday life. We converse with our family members, with our friends in school and with friends in our localities. We also listen to dialogues when we watch a favourite film or go to see a play. This High English quiz is all about the completion of dialogue, whether in a film or a play, where tagging is required, or in everyday life.
One of the most talked about dialogues in Hindi films is the line from the iconic film ‘Sholay’, in which the villain asks one of his henchmen ‘Kitne aadmi the.’ This piece of dialogue has become very popular and has been used in many advertisements for 40 years. Dialogues are integral parts of any story, film or drama. We can recall dialogues in movies and in a play. More importantly, we practise dialogues in our daily lives. Often, when we listen to someone speak, we try to predict the next part of the dialogue after listening to the first few words uttered by someone, and that's what you'll be doing in this quiz.
Passage for Dialogue Completion.
Manager: ______________(1) passing your desk just now?
Secretary: Yes, he left for a meeting in the head office. Tell me, _______________(2) that makes you so glum?

1 .

Did you see the MD
Did the MD
Will you see the MD
Will the MD be
When we read the entire dialogue, we notice that it is happening in the present. Thus, option 1 is the correct answer. Option 2 is grammatically wrong. Options 3 and 4 refer to the future and are inconsistent with the context of the dialogue
2 .
In the conversation between the Secretary and the Manager, complete the dialogue designated by (2). Choose from the following options.
What happens
What has happening
How is this
What has happened
Judging from the entire dialogue we can surmise that something has happened for the Manager to seek the MD's assistance. With reference to the context, option 4 is correct. The other options are grammatically incorrect
3 .
In the conversation between the Secretary and the Manager, complete the dialogue designated by (3). Choose from the following options.
I have no problem with privileged customer
I have a problem with a privileged customer
I having problem with privileged customer
I full problem with privileged customer
Judging from the entire dialogue we can surmise that there is a problem with a privileged customer and hence the dialogue 'I have a problem with a privileged customer.' Obviously, option 1 is incorrect because there is a problem. The other options are grammatically incorrect
4 .
In the conversation between the Secretary and the Manager, complete the dialogue designated by (4). Choose from the following options.
Relax, don't worrying
Relaxing, don't worry
Relax, don't worry
Relaxing, stop worrying
From the context of the dialogues, the Secretary is trying to calm the manager and hence her dialogue 'Relax, don't worry.' The other options are grammatically incorrect
5 .
'"You must tell me why I am wrong," ________ Tanvi.'
Choose the appropriate tag word for the dialogue.
Choose the appropriate tag word for the dialogue.
screeched
acknowledged
answered
demanded
From the dialogue, we surmise that Tanvi is unclear why her boss thinks she is wrong and the boss may not be forthcoming. Thus, Tanvi is demanding her boss to give reason why she was wrong. The other options do not warrant the reaction implied in the meaning of the words
6 .

These three pieces of dialogue are spoken in sequence by three sisters, Ayesha, Athiya and Amina. Choose the appropriate tag words.

Ayesha asked, "Did you see that?" Athiya asked, "See what?" "That skyscraper," said Amina.
Ayesha said, "Did you see that?" Athiya asked, "See what?" "That skyscraper," said Amina.
While all the options are grammatically correct, option 1 is the most apt because it has three different tags and they are more expressive

Choose the word that fills the blank to complete the sentence. The clue is the tag word 'warned.'

"I want to go to the movies," declared Manav. Please come with me, he requested his friend.
I want to go to the movies, declared Manav. "Please come with me," he requested his friend.

Option 4 is correctly punctuated. In option 1, the sentence should end with a question mark. In option 2, the question mark should come within the quotation marks. In option 3, there should be a comma after 'me' and before the quotation
10 .

"Children tomorrow we will make a visit to the Lal Bagh," the principal informed the students.
"I never want to see your face again," thundered the irate supervisor.
The class teacher asked the children, "Are you all ready for the test?"
