Test: The Noun & Its Kinds - 1 - Class 3 MCQ

Explanation of Correct Answer

A noun is defined as a naming word that refers to a person, place, thing, or idea. Therefore, option C is correct.

Explanation of Incorrect Options

• Option A: An action word describes a verb, not a noun.
• Option B: A describing word refers to an adjective, not a noun.
• Option D: While a noun can refer to a place or thing, this definition is too broad; it does not encompass all nouns, such as those representing people or ideas.

The correct answer is 'sun'.
Key Points

• The subjective case is used for the subject of the sentence.
• In this sentence, "sun" is the subject, performing the action (rising).
• "Sun" is the noun in the subjective case.
• The structure is Subject (The sun), Verb (rises), and Prepositional Phrase (in the east).

The correct answer is Apples because it is a countable noun that can be quantified (e.g., one apple, two apples, three apples). In contrast:

• I is a pronoun and does not denote a countable noun.
• Have is a verb and does not represent a countable noun.
• Three is a numeral and indicates quantity but is not a noun itself.

Thus, the only countable noun in the sentence is Apples.
