MCQ: Noun - 1 - SSC CGL MCQ

In this sentence, "mouse" is the direct object of the verb "chased," making it the noun in the accusative case.

The correct plural form of "person" is "people". Here’s why:

• The term "persons" is technically correct but is rarely used in everyday language.
• "People" is the common plural form used when referring to a group of individuals.
• The word "peoples" refers to different groups of people or ethnicities, which is not the same as the plural of "person".
• "Persones" is not a standard English term.

Therefore, the best choice is "people".

"John's" indicates ownership or possession of the car.

The correct plural form of "ox" is oxen.

Here’s why:

• “Ox” is an irregular noun, meaning it does not follow the usual rules for forming plurals.
• The standard way to make "ox" plural is to change the ending to "en", resulting in "oxen".
• Other options, such as "oxes" and "ox's", are incorrect.

Therefore, the answer is oxen.

a) Sheeps are grazing in the field is incorrect because sheep is a countable noun, but its plural is also sheep, not sheeps.
