    Explanation
    A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing. It is capitalized and refers to a particular individual, location, or entity. In this case, the given definition of a noun aligns with the concept of a proper noun, making it the correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    A. Geese
    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
    Explanation
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.
