Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 1

Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence:

Q. What's in this book? Look at the _________ page.

Detailed Solution for Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 1

An attributive noun is a noun that modifies another noun, by giving us more information about the noun. In the given sentence, 'contents' is attributive as it modifies the 'page'.
Options A and B: 'Contents page' is a compound noun that refers to the page in a book with a list of chapters or topics in that book.
'Content', on the other hand, refers to the ideas in a piece of writing.
Both words have different meanings and for the given sentence, 'contents' is relevant.
Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
Options C and D: The apostrophe s 's in 'content's' expresses possession or belonging. It is not required in this sentence and it does not form a complete meaning too.
Similarly, the apostrophe in 'contents'' is also not required. Hence options C and D are incorrect.

Detailed Solution for Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 3

Hence it's a noun and option C is correct.
Option A: 'Please' is an adverb that is used to make a request.
Option B: 'Yourself' is a pronoun used to refer to a person in the second person point of view.
Option D: 'To' is a preposition that expresses motion in a particular direction.
These words are not nouns and hence A, B and D are wrong.

Detailed Solution for Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 4
  • Option 1: chapters - This refers to the individual sections of the book, not the page that lists them.
  • Option 3: indexes - This is the plural form of "index," but the sentence is asking for a singular reference to the page, so this is incorrect.
  • Option 4: index's - This is the possessive form, which is not appropriate in this context.

Produce

Detailed Solution for Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 6

An abstract noun is a noun that cannot be seen or touched. It is an idea, quality or state.
Option D: 'Production' is an abstract noun form of the given verb. It refers to the manufacturing or making of goods. For example, 'the indefinite ways of food production'. Hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'Produce' is also a noun, but it isn't the noun form of the given verb; it refers to agricultural products and not the act of producing. Hence option A is incorrect.
Options B and C: The words 'produceful' and 'produceness' do not exist. Hence options B and C are incorrect.

Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 7

Fill in the blank with the plural form of the noun in brackets:

Q. My (daughter-in-law) ______________ prepared dinner for me.

Detailed Solution for Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 7

A plural noun is a word that indicates that there is more than one person, animal, place, thing, or idea. In the case given, the word 'daughter' must be made plural, not the word 'law' since the sentence is referring to more than one daughter (in law).
Hence, the correct answer is A) Daughters-in-law.

Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 8

Fill in the blank with the singular form of the noun in brackets.

Q. The apple (trees) _______ in the garden is bearing fruit.

Detailed Solution for Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 8

A singular noun names one person, place, thing, or idea. The given sentence has 'is' (singular verb) which is used with singular nouns. 'Tree' is a singular noun.  
Hence, the correct answer is B) Tree.
Option 'A' " Trees" is plural, therefore cannot be used in the given sentence
Option 'C' and 'D' are out of context. 

Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 9

Fill in the blank with a suitable noun:

Q. Even though age has caught up with him now, he is still always on the ________.

Detailed Solution for Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 9

Option A: The phrase 'on the move' is an idiomatic expression. (In idiomatic expressions, the meaning is different from the literal meanings of the individual elements.) It means: to be physically active.
Hence the correct word used is 'move' and option A is correct.
Options B, C and D: The words 'take', 'road' and 'give' do not form the required meaning in the sentence. The expression is a set phrase and cannot be substituted with another word. Hence these options are wrong.

Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 10

Identify the noun:

Q. People are strange.

Detailed Solution for Test: Nouns- 1 - Question 10

Nouns are words that name people, things, places, animals, etc.
Nouns function as the subject, object and so on in a sentence. As a subject it performs an action.
Option A: The word 'people' names human beings in general. It functions as the subject of the given sentence.
Hence option A is correct.
Option B: ''Strange' is an adjective that modifies the noun 'people'. Hence B is wrong.
Option C is wrong because B: 'strange' is not a noun.
