Key Points

• An abstract noun is a noun that denotes an idea, quality, or state rather than a tangible object.
• In the sentence "The theatre was engulfed in darkness," the word "darkness" is an abstract noun because it represents a state or condition rather than a physical entity.
• The word "theatre" is a concrete noun as it refers to a physical place.

Explanation: Abstract nouns are used to denote something that cannot be seen, touched, or measured directly; they represent intangible concepts or qualities.

Additional Information

• Theatre: A concrete noun referring to a physical location.
• Darkness: An abstract noun representing the absence of light, an intangible state.

The correct answer is '1' i.e. Girl.

Key Points

• A common noun is a noun that refers to a general item or person rather than a specific one.
• In the sentence "The girl arrived in the state last week," the word "girl" is a common noun because it refers to a general person, not a specific individual.
• The word "state" can also be considered a common noun as it refers to a general place, but the primary common noun in the context of the sentence is "girl."

Explanation: Common nouns are not capitalized unless they begin a sentence or are part of a title.

Additional Information

• State: A common noun referring to a general location but in the context of the given options, "girl" is the primary common noun.
• Weak: This is a misspelling of the word "week" and is not a noun.

The correct option is: 3) nucleus.

Key Points

• Babies – This is the plural form of “baby.”
• Cities – This is the plural form of “city,” following the same rule as “babies.”
• Nucleus – This is a singular noun, typically used in scientific contexts (like cell biology or atomic structure). Its plural form is nuclei, derived from Latin.
• Boats – This is a regular plural noun, formed by adding -s to the singular “boat.”

Therefore, 'nucleus' is the only word among the options that is singular.

The error is in the second part of the sentence.

Key Points

• Although 'police' appears singular, yet it is used in 'plural' sense. You do not need to add “s”, “es” to make them plural.
• Nouns that are used in 'plural' despite their singular looks are :
  • Cattle, People, Police, Gentry, Peasantry, Electorate, Nobility, Poultry, Clergy, Vermin, etc
• The correct sentence should be: The police are becoming more and more inactive.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Deed

Key Points

• Do is the verb form.
• Many words in English can be used in more than one part of speech.
• Let's consider the words given in options:
  • Options 1,3 and 4 are verbs.
  • Option 2 is a noun.

• Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

• Parts of speech:
  • A category to which a word is assigned in accordance with its syntactic functions. 
  • In English, the main parts of speech are noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection.
• Let's understand the definitions of parts of speech given in the options:
   

  Parts of speech	Function	Example

The correct answer is 'common gender'.

Key Points

• Gender is a noun used to describe the characteristics of women and men that are socially constructed.
• Common gender is a noun that can be used to denote both female as well as male.
• Hence, spouse, which can be used for both husband as well as wife, is common gender.

Additional Information

• The nouns such as Sun, Death, Winter, Summer, Love, War, Ocean, Time etc come for expressing strength or firmness or energy and are considered Masculine Gender.
  for eg.-  Death keeps his own calendar.

The correct answer- common gender

The correct answer is Option 3.

Key Points  

• In this sentence gold is a material noun.

• Material nouns don’t take articles ‘a/ an’. 

• Material nouns only take ‘the’ when they are specific. Here, the sentence is talking about specific gold wyvern.

• Hence, the usage of the article 'a' before gold wyvern is wrong.
• Article 'the' should be used before 'gold wyvern.'

Correct sentence: "Some of them stared at his boots or his cloak, and he knew what they were thinking; as his cloak shifted, she spied the gold wyvern embroidered on his tunic.​" 

Additional Information

• Material Noun is names of materials or substances out of which things are made. Ex: gold, iron.
• Meaning of some words are:
  • Wyvern is a fire-breathing dragon used in medieval heraldry; had the head of a dragon and the tail of a snake and a body with wings and two legs.
  • Embroidered means to decorate cloth by sewing a pattern or picture on it

The correct answer is Creation

Key Points

• Many words in English can be used in more than one part of speech.
• Let's consider the words given in options:
  • Options 1,3, and 4 are Verb forms.
  • ​Option 2 is an Abstract Noun.
• Abstract Nouns are formed in many ways such as:
  • By removing the last letters and adding a suffix: Create to creation
  • By adding a suffix: Coward to Cowardice
• ​​​Thus the correct answer is Creation.

The correct answer is "Gerund".

Key Points

• Let us explore the given options:
  • Verbs are words that show action, occurrence, or state of being. Almost every sentence requires a verb. The basic form of a verb is known as its infinitive.
  • A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding "-ing". We can use a gerund as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence.
  • A participle is a verb form that can be used as an adjective, to create verb tense, or to create a passive voice. There are two types of participles: present participle (ending -ing) and past participle (usually ending -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n).
  • An infinitive is formed from a verb but doesn't act as a verb. It acts as a noun, adjective, or adverb, and it is actually made up of two words: to + verb.
  • Since 'cooking' is acting as a subject here, it is acting as 'gerund'.
• Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

The correct answer is Option 1.

Key Points

• The error is in part A of the sentence, due to the wrong usage of a collective noun.
• The usage of 'peoples' is wrong.
• The word people is a plural form of the word person.
• For a collective group of individuals, the word people is used.

Correct Sentence: "He said farewell to them, all the people he knew in all the world, and looked about once at the village that straggled and huddled there under the cliffs, over the riversprings." 

Additional Information

• A collective noun is a word or phrase that refers to a group of people or things as one entity. 
• Collective nouns represent more than one person or thing in a class. 
• A collective noun always describes a plurality of one kind or another.

The correct answer is Commanders-in-chief.

Key Points

• A plural noun indicates that there is more than one of that noun (while a singular noun indicates that there is just one of the noun).
• There are some compound nouns in which the pluralization comes before the first hyphen if there is one.
  • Example: The plural form of the Brother-in-law is Brothers-in-law.
• Hence, the plural of 'Commander-in-chief' is 'Commanders-in-chief'.
• Therefore, the correct answer is 'Commanders-in-chief'.

Additional Information

• Let us discuss plural forms of some other words:
