Questions and Answers

1.

The plural for child is ...

Explanation
The plural form of "child" is "children." This is a common irregular plural in English where the word undergoes a vowel change in the middle of the word. Instead of adding an "s" to the end of the word, the vowel sound changes from a short "i" to a long "ee" sound. This is a rule that must be memorized as it does not follow the usual pluralization patterns in English.

Correct Answer
B. An

Explanation
The given answer "An" is the correct indefinite article to use before the word "obstetrician". The word "obstetrician" is a noun that refers to a medical professional specializing in pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. In English grammar, indefinite articles are used before singular nouns that begin with a consonant sound. Since "obstetrician" starts with a consonant sound (/ɑːbˈstrɛtɪʃ(ə)n/), the correct article to use is "An".
