In this case, the given definition of a noun aligns with the concept of a proper noun, making it the correct answer.

3. Plural form of goose.

Explanation

The plural form of "goose" is "geese." This is a common irregular plural in English where the vowel sound changes from "oo" to "ee" when forming the plural. Therefore, "geese" is the correct plural form of "goose."

A collective noun refers to a group or collection of people, animals, or things that are considered as one entity. In this case, the class or group is being referred to as a single unit, which is why it is categorized as a collective noun.

5. A noun that denotes an object, which is without sex.

Explanation

Neuter gender refers to a noun that denotes an object or entity that is without sex. In other words, it is neither masculine nor feminine. This gender is used to classify nouns that do not have a specific gender association, such as inanimate objects, abstract concepts, or animals that do not have a distinct male or female form.

Submit
6. Plural form of wife.

Explanation

The plural form of wife is "wives". In English, when we want to indicate that there is more than one of something, we often add an "s" or "es" to the end of the word. In this case, the word "wife" becomes "wives" to indicate that there is more than one wife.

Submit
7. A noun that denotes a MALE. Ex. priest,  father, brother

Explanation

The given correct answer is "Masculine Gender" because the nouns listed, such as priest, father, and brother, all refer to males. Masculine gender is used to describe nouns that denote males specifically.

Submit
8. The GENERAL name of a person, place, or thing.

Explanation

A common noun is the general name given to a person, place, or thing. It does not refer to a specific individual or entity. Common nouns are used to describe everyday objects or concepts that are not unique or specific. They are not capitalized unless they begin a sentence. In contrast, proper nouns refer to specific individuals, places, or things and are capitalized. Abstract nouns refer to ideas, feelings, or qualities that cannot be perceived by the senses. Mass nouns refer to substances or materials that cannot be counted or divided into separate units.

Submit
9. Mr. Bauer works for CTU. Mr. Bauer used as a _____________ in the sentence.

10. A Noun that does not have physical existence.

Explanation

An abstract noun refers to a concept, idea, quality, or state that cannot be perceived by the senses. It is something that exists in the mind or as a general idea, rather than as a physical object. Examples of abstract nouns include love, happiness, courage, and friendship. These nouns cannot be touched, seen, heard, smelled, or tasted, but they represent emotions, qualities, or ideas that are important in our lives. Therefore, an abstract noun is the correct answer in this case.

Submit
17. Plural form of volcano.

Explanation

The correct answer is "volcanoes." The plural form of "volcano" is "volcanoes." Adding the "-es" suffix to the end of the word forms the plural, indicating that there is more than one volcano. "Volcanos" is incorrect because it does not follow the standard English pluralization rules.

Submit
18. Plural form of alto.

19. Renz bought Janine a new pair of shoes. Janine used as a  ________________________ in the sentence.

Explanation

In this sentence, Janine is the recipient of the action of buying the new pair of shoes. She is not the main focus of the sentence, but rather the person for whom the shoes were bought. Therefore, Janine is functioning as the indirect object in this sentence.

Submit
20. He is my new friend. Friend used as a _________________________ in the sentence.

Explanation

In the given sentence, the word "friend" is used to describe or complement the subject "he". It is not directly receiving the action of the verb or being acted upon by the subject, so it is not a direct object. It is also not receiving the action indirectly, so it is not an indirect object. Therefore, the correct answer is subjective complement, as it complements the subject "he" and provides additional information about it.
