    Ms. Kominsky teaches algebra and geometry at my school.

    • Common noun

    • Proper noun

    • Abstract noun

    Correct Answer
    A. Proper noun
    Explanation
    The given sentence states that Ms. Kominsky teaches algebra and geometry at "my school." Since "Ms. Kominsky" is a specific person's name, it is considered a proper noun. Proper nouns refer to specific individuals, places, or things and are always capitalized. In this case, "Ms. Kominsky" is the name of the teacher, making it a proper noun.

  • 3. 

    Allen visited his cousin in St. Louis, Missouri.

    • Abstract noun

    • Proper noun

    • Common noun

    Correct Answer
    A. Common noun
    Explanation
    The given sentence "Allen visited his cousin in St. Louis, Missouri" contains a noun, which is "cousin". "Cousin" is a common noun as it refers to a general type of relationship and can be used to describe any person's relative. It does not refer to a specific, individual person or place, which would make it a proper noun. The mention of "St. Louis, Missouri" in the sentence is irrelevant to the classification of "cousin" as a common noun.

    A. Proper noun
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "proper noun" because it refers to a specific place, The Museum of Modern Art, which is a unique and distinct entity. Proper nouns are used to name specific people, places, or things. In this case, "The Museum of Modern Art" is the name of a specific museum that showcases twentieth-century paintings.

    A. Concrete noun
    Explanation
    The given sentence "I take a train to the city every morning at six o'clock" refers to a specific object, which is a train. A concrete noun is a noun that represents something that can be perceived by the senses, such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, or smell. In this case, a train is something that can be seen, heard, and touched, making it a concrete noun.

    • Sisters-in-law

    • Sisters-in-laws

    Correct Answer
    A. Sisters-in-law
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "sisters-in-law". This is because when referring to multiple sisters of one's spouse, the plural form of "sister-in-law" is used, which is "sisters-in-law". The word "sisters" indicates that there are multiple sisters, and the hyphenated phrase "in-law" indicates the relationship between the sisters and the speaker.

    • Children's

    Correct Answer
    A. Children's
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "children's". In this sentence, we are talking about the faces of the children, so we need to use the possessive form of "children". The apostrophe followed by the letter "s" indicates that something belongs to the children, in this case, their faces.

    Rate this question:

  • 10.

    The correct answer is "oranges's". This is because the O'Rileys brought us oranges from their trip to Florida, indicating that the oranges belong to the O'Rileys. The possessive form of "oranges" is formed by adding an apostrophe and an "s" after the word.
