    The manager spoke, both to the bride and the bridegroom, in the presence of the priest. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    Option B is correct. "Manager" is a common gender noun since the manager can be either male or female.
    Option A is incorrect as "priest" is a masculine gender noun. It is specifically for males.
    Option C is incorrect as "bride" is the feminine noun form of "bridegroom". It is specifically for women.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the 'masculine gender noun' from the given sentence:
    Lily was scared of her landlord, to the extent of not meeting his eye. [Intermediate]
    Solution

    The sentence given will have Option B, the landlord as the correct answer.

    In the given sentence, option A, Eye, is a common gender noun, which can belong to both the genders irrespective of it belonging to both. While option C, Lily Is actually a name, is referred to as a proper noun. Option B, Landlord, thereby is the correct answer as it is the counter part of its feminine noun, landlady. Landlord is a word used for a person owning a certain piece of land or property.

    Thus, Option B is the correct answer.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Identify the 'masculine gender noun' in the given sentence:
    The crowd cheered as the lady ran after the rooster. 
    Solution

    The correct answer for the given sentence is Option C, Rooster.

    In the mentioned sentence,  there are three nouns: the rooster, the crowd and the lady. While Option B, cheer is actually a verb describing an action. Option A crowd is a collective noun defining a group of people and Option D, lady is a feminine noun.

    This leaves us with Option C, the rooster, which is actually the masculine counterpart of a hen.

    Thus, Option C is the correct answer.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Identify the 'neuter gender noun' from the given sentence:
    The boy was admitted to the hospital as soon as the principal arrived.
    Solution

    The above mentioned sentence would have Option C, “hospital” as the answer.

    The sentence contains three nouns: the hospital, the boy and the Principal. While ‘the boy’ is specifically used for the male gender, to depict the younger version of a man, ‘the principal’ is a common gender noun used for both the genders.  Option B, ‘admit’, is a verb which will not be considered.

    Thus, Option C, “hospital”, is the correct answer as it is a material which is not dependent on a specific gender, and is a neuter gender noun.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Identify the 'neuter gender noun' from the given sentence:
    It was Rahim's computer which came to the rescue, when the others ignored his plea for help. [Intermediate]
    Solution

    The above mentioned sentence would have Option B, “Computer” as the answer.

    The sentence contains the following nouns: Rahim, the computer and the others. While Rahim is a name, commonly used for the male gender, and almost close to being impossible for the feminine gender, “the others” is actually a collective noun, making both of them wrong and unsuitable options. While Option C, the computer is the correct answer, as it is a material (a device or a gadget used for technical work) and is not dependent on any gender.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify the 'neuter gender noun' from the given sentence:
    The child was so engrossed in stitching the shoe that the strong winds had little effect on him. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    A neuter gender noun is a noun that denotes a lifeless or inanimate thing or object. It is neither masculine nor feminine.
    Option B is correct as "shoe" is a noun of an inanimate object that is neither masculine nor feminine.
    Option A is incorrect. "Child" is a common gender noun that can be either masculine or feminine (a child can be either male or female).
    Option C is incorrect. "Stitch", in this sentence, is not a noun, but a verb.
    Option D is incorrect. "Strong", here, is not a noun, but an adjective that describes the wind.

    1 / -0
    Identify the 'masculine gender noun' from the given sentence:
    The heir to be chosen was going to face a tough task in the evening. [Intermediate]
    Solution

    The correct answer for the given sentence is Option C, Heir.

    The given sentence has the following nouns, which are: the heir, evening, face and task. Out of the given options, Option A, face is a word linked to the body part, and doesn’t have a gender of its own, while option D, evening is a point of time devoid of any kind of gender. Option B, task is actually a neuter gender noun which is purely materialistic.

    This leaves us with Option C, heir, which is actually the male successor in a specific hierarchy or a kingdom.

    Thus, Option C is the correct answer.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Identify the 'common gender noun' used in the following sentence:
    The officer was on prowl for the girl who killed her husband.
    Solution

    The above mentioned sentence would have Option D, “Officer” as the answer.

    In the sentence, the following nouns are mentioned: the officer, the girl and the husband. Of the options given, the girl is a feminine noun, while the husband is a masculine noun, which cannot be used for the other genders. While Option A, prowl is a verb which means to search a certain vicinity.

    Thus, Option D, officer, can be used for both the genders, irrespective of the both, making it a common gender noun. Thus, Option D, is the correct answer.
  • Question 9

    The man knew that he is a parent first and then a widower. [Intermediate]

    Her nephew came visiting her, one Sunday afternoon. [Basic]
    Solution

    The given sentence will have option C, Niece as the correct answer.

    In the given sentence, the only male noun that is present is the word, ‘nephew’. The word ‘nephew’ means a person’s sibling’s son. Thus, the feminine gender noun for the same would be ‘Niece’, which will mean a person’s sibling’s daughter.
