Test: Noun- 1 - Class 6 MCQ

The correct answer is:

a) paintings

The complete sentence would be:
"The artist's paintings were displayed in the gallery."

Explanation:

• "Paintings" (plural) is correct because the verb "were" (plural form) indicates that multiple artworks were displayed.

• "Painting" (singular) would require "was" instead of "were."

• "Paint" refers to the material, not the artwork.

• "Painter" refers to the artist, not their creations.

Thus, "paintings" is the grammatically and contextually appropriate choice.

An uncountable noun refers to something that cannot be counted individually because it represents a mass or a general quantity. In the sentence "There is too much traffic on the road," the noun "traffic" is uncountable because it refers to a general quantity of vehicles on the road, not individual vehicles. You cannot count "traffic" in individual units. In contrast, the other sentences refer to countable nouns: books, apples, and a movie, which can be counted individually.

The word "team" represents a group of people working together. Collective nouns refer to a group of individuals or things considered as a single unit. Therefore, "team" is a collective noun.

Gender-specific nouns explicitly indicate the gender of the person, such as "waiter" (male) or "waitress" (female). In the sentence "The waiter served the meal," "waiter" is a gender-specific noun referring to a male server. The other options—"doctor," "assistant," and "teacher"—are gender-neutral nouns, as they do not specify gender (e.g., there’s no "doctress" or "teachress"). Therefore, only option (d) uses a gender-specific noun, making it the correct choice.

An abstract noun represents an idea, quality, or state rather than a concrete object. In the sentence, "courage" is the abstract noun because it refers to a quality or state of being, not something you can physically touch or see. 

The word "admirable" is an adjective describing the quality of courage.

So, in short:

• Courage = abstract noun (quality/feeling)
• Danger = abstract noun (state/condition)
• Admirable = adjective

The sentence would read: "The climb of Mount Everest is a great challenge for climbers."

Explanation: "Climb" is a noun in this context, referring to the act or process of climbing Mount Everest. The other options either do not fit grammatically or change the meaning of the sentence.

A proper noun is the specific name of a person, place, or organization and is always capitalized. In the sentence, "Sarah" is a proper noun because it is the specific name of a person.
