1. Nounce means....

Explanation

The word "nounce" is not a recognized English word. However, if we assume that it is a misspelling of the word "noun," then the correct answer would be "tell." A noun is a word that is used to identify a person, place, thing, or idea. To tell means to communicate or convey information. Therefore, if "nounce" is interpreted as "noun," the correct answer would be "tell" because nouns are used to tell or identify things.
