    1 / -0

    From the given sentence, form a feminine noun from the masculine one:

    The clay model appeared to be absolutely masculine in nature.
    Solution

    The answer to the given sentence would be Option B, Feminine.

    As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the concrete noun(s) in the following sentence:

    Option A: The word "I" is a pronoun and not a noun. Hence this is not the correct answer.  
    Option B: The word "am" is a verb and not a noun. Hence this is not the correct answer.  
    Option C: The word "well-being" is an abstract noun. It refers to a state of being and can only be felt. It cannot be experienced through any of our five senses. Hence this is not the correct answer.  
    Option D: The word "children" refers to a group of persons. It is a common noun. We can see "children" through our eyes. Hence, it is a concrete noun. This is the correct answer. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    From the given sentence, form a feminine noun from the masculine one, by placing a word before or after:

  • Question 10

    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 "Sheila" is a proper noun which refers to the name of a person who can be seen. Hence, this is a concrete noun.
    The word "intelligence" is an abstract noun which refers to the quality of being intelligent. It is not a concrete noun.
    The word "delighted" is the simple past tense form of the verb "delight". Hence, this is not a concrete noun.
    The word "daughter" is a common noun which refers to a person, who can be seen. Hence, this is a concrete noun.

    Therefore, Option D, which has "Sheila" and "daughter" both concrete nouns, is the correct answer.
