  • 20. 

    What's the plural of mouse?

    • Mice

    • Mouses

    • Mousies

    Correct Answer
    A. Mice
    Explanation
    The plural of "mouse" is "mice." In English, when a word ends in "s" or "x," it is common to form the plural by adding "es." However, "mouse" is an irregular noun, and its plural form follows a different pattern. The "ouse" in "mouse" changes to "ice" in the plural form. This irregularity is seen in a few other words as well, such as "louse" becoming "lice." Therefore, "mice" is the correct plural form of "mouse."
