Test: Nouns- 1 - Class 8 MCQ

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.

'Patriarch' means the male head of a family or tribr.
Option A- Matroness is not a correct word. Hence, it is incorrect.
Option B- Matriarch means a female head of a family or tribe, hence it is the feminine form of 'Patriarch'. Thus, it is the correct answer.
Option C- Patroness is the feminine form of patron. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option D- Mother is the feminine form of father. Hence, it is also incorrect.

Option C: Nouns are words that name people, things, places, animals, etc. In the given sentence, 'drinks' is a name for 'a liquid intended for human consumption'.
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.

• 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.

Correct Option: 2. index - The word "index" correctly refers to the page in the book that lists the topics or sections, making it the appropriate choice for this sentence.

We can use logic and vocabulary to determine the correct answer. 
Option A- Feline is an adjective which means relating to the cat family. Hence it is incorrect.
Option B- Misses is the plural form of the word miss. Thus it is  incorrect.
Option C-Masseuress in an incorrect word. Thus it is also incorrect. 
Option D- Masseuse is the feminine form of Masseur. Hence Option D is the correct answer. 

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.
Option D is wrong because the answer lies in A.
