  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the plural form of the word in brackets:
    The music school in Nashville has three _______ on its campus. (studio) 
    Solution
    If a word ends with a vowel followed by the letter "o", its plural is formed by adding the letter "s" at the end of the word. 
    The word "studio" ends with the vowel "i" followed by "o". Its plural is formed by adding "s" to the end of the word. 
    Hence, the correct option is Option A i.e studios.  The other options are incorrect as they do not follow the plural formation pattern explained above.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of the noun to fill in the blank:

    Option B:  "students" is the plural form of the noun "student" and hence is not the correct answer. 
    Option C: "studentes" is a wrong, non existent word. It is not the correct answer.
    Option D: Option A is correct, so option D is not the correct answer.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Identify the concrete noun(s) in the following sentence:
    Harish was rewarded for his honesty by the minister.
    Solution
    Concrete nouns are nouns which can be experienced through one/more of our five senses viz. sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste. Normally, proper nouns, common nouns and collective nouns are concrete nouns. Abstract nouns refer to ideas/ qualities/ states of being/feeling.   

    The word "Harish" is a proper noun which refers to the name of a person who can be seen. Hence, this is a concrete noun.
    The word "honesty" is an abstract noun which refers to the quality of being honest. It is not a concrete noun.
    The word "minister" is a common noun which refers to a person, who can be seen. Hence, this is a concrete noun.
    The word "rewarded" is the simple past tense form of the verb "reward". It is not a noun.
    Therefore, Option B which has "Harish" and "minister", both concrete nouns, is the correct answer.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Identify the concrete noun(s) in the following sentence:
    The rich man felt pity for the poor beggar.
    Solution
    Concrete nouns are nouns which can be experienced through one/more of our five senses viz. sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste. Normally, proper nouns, common nouns and collective nouns are concrete nouns. Abstract nouns refer to ideas/ qualities/ states of being/feeling.   

    The word "man" is a common noun which refers to a person, who can be seen. Hence, this is a concrete noun.
    The word "pity" is an abstract noun which refers to a feeling of sorrow and compassion towards somebody's suffering. It cannot be seen/experienced through any of our five senses. Hence, this is not a concrete noun.
    The word "beggar" is a common noun which refers to a person, who can be seen. Hence, this is a concrete noun.
    The word "poor" is an adjective which qualifies the noun "beggar". it is not a noun.
    Therefore, Option C which has "man" and "beggar", both concrete nouns, is the correct answer.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct plural form of the word given in the bracket:
    __________ are very expensive musical instruments. (Piano) [Intermediate]
    Solution
    If a word ends with a consonant followed by the letter "o", its plural is formed by adding either "s" or "es" at the end of the word. Whether we have to add simply "s" or "es" can be known through practice. Hence, it is important to familiarise ourselves with such words and their plural forms. 
    The word "Piano" ends with the consonant "n" followed by "o". Its plural is formed by adding "s" to the end of the word. 
    Hence, the correct option is Option B i.e Pianos. The other options are incorrect as they do not follow the plural formation pattern explained above.
