Question

• B. freckles
• C. spot
• D. wrinkle

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

freckles

There are two numbers in Noun-Number: Singular and Plural. When we speak about one person / thing, we use the noun in singular form. When we speak about more than one person / thing, we use the noun in plural form.

Here, we are talking about 'children' which is plural. So we must use a plural noun. Among the options, the only plural noun is option B) freckles. Also, there is no indefinite article (a/an) to suggest that the noun must be a singular one.

Hence, option B is the right answer.
