Question

Complete the following sentence using nominalisation of the underlined verb:
My grandmother departed yesterday. Her __________ is the cause of my affliction.

• A. Departing
• B. Department
• C. Departition
• D. Departure

Answer 1

The correct option is D Departure

The correct answer is Option D.

In the given question we have to use correct nominalisation of the verb- departed.

Nominalisation is a noun generated from an adjective or a verb.

Options A,B and C are incorrect because:

Option A: DEPARTING is a verb and not a noun.

Option B: DEPARTMENT is a noun that means a division. It is thus not the correct nominalisation of the verb departed which means to leave.

Option C: DEPARTITION means to leave but it is in the verb form.

Hence Option D- DEPARTURE is the correct answer, being the noun form of the verb departed.
