Explanation

The correct answer is "Feminine Gender" because the question is asking for a noun that denotes a female. The examples given, such as nun, mother, and sister, all refer to females. In grammar, gender is a category that classifies nouns based on their biological or social gender. The feminine gender specifically refers to nouns that are associated with females.

3. Plural form of  hero.

Explanation

The plural form of "hero" is "heroes" because when a noun ends in -o, we usually add -es to form the plural. In this case, the -o in "hero" changes to -oe and we add -s to make it plural. Therefore, the correct plural form of "hero" is "heroes".

Submit
4. Plural form of goose.

Explanation

The plural form of "goose" is "geese." This is an irregular plural noun, meaning it does not follow the typical pattern of adding an "s" to the end of the word. Instead, the vowel sound changes from "oo" to "ee" and the "s" is added, resulting in "geese."

Submit
5. A class or group taken as one.

Explanation

A collective noun refers to a group of individuals or things that are considered as a single unit. It is used to describe a collection or assembly of people, animals, or objects. In this context, the correct answer is "Collective Noun" because it accurately describes a class or group taken as one.

Submit
6. Plural form of wife.

Explanation

The plural form of "wife" is "wives" because when a noun ends in -fe or -f, the -f is changed to a -v before adding -es to form the plural. In this case, the -fe in "wife" is changed to -v and then -es is added, resulting in "wives".

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

Explanation

The given answer "Masculine Gender" is correct because the nouns listed (priest, father, brother) all refer to males. In grammar, gender is a category that distinguishes nouns based on their sex or lack thereof. Masculine gender is used to refer to male beings or objects. Therefore, the nouns provided in the question all fall under the category of masculine gender as they denote males.

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

Explanation

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing. It is capitalized and refers to a unique individual or entity. In this case, the given explanation suggests that the correct answer is "Proper Noun" because it fits the definition provided.

Submit
9. 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 a gender category used for inanimate objects, abstract concepts, or things that do not have a specific gender. Unlike common gender, which can refer to both male and female beings, and feminine gender, which refers to female beings, neuter gender is used when the gender of the noun is irrelevant or unknown.

Submit
10. A Noun which does not have phycical existense.

Explanation

An abstract noun refers to something that cannot be perceived by the senses, such as emotions, ideas, qualities, or concepts. These nouns represent things that exist but do not have a physical presence or can be touched. Examples of abstract nouns include love, happiness, freedom, justice, and courage.

Submit
11. Plural form of volcano.

Explanation

The plural form of "volcano" is "volcanoes" because when a noun ends in -o, the plural is usually formed by adding -es. In this case, the -o in "volcano" changes to -oes to indicate more than one volcano. "Volcanos" is an incorrect plural form.

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

Explanation

A common noun is the general name of a person, place, or thing. It refers to a class or category of people, places, or things rather than a specific individual or entity. In this case, "common noun" is the correct answer because it represents the general name of a person, place, or thing, without specifying any specific individual or entity.

Submit
13. A noun which has physical existence that and can be perceived by any of the five senses.

Explanation

A concrete noun is a noun that refers to something that can be perceived by any of the five senses. It is a noun that has physical existence, such as objects, animals, or people. Unlike abstract nouns, which refer to ideas or concepts, concrete nouns can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched. Therefore, concrete noun is the correct answer in this case.

Submit
14. Plural form of folio

Explanation

The plural form of "folio" is "folios."

Submit
15. A noun denotes a MALE or FEMALE. Ex. Teacher,  soldier, cop

Explanation

The term "common gender" refers to a noun that can be used to denote both males and females. In this case, the examples given - teacher, soldier, and cop - can be used to refer to both male and female individuals in those professions. Therefore, the correct answer is "Common Gender."
