Question

Form a noun by modifying the verb: accept

• A. acceptance
• B. accepted
• C. acceptence
• D. acception

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

acceptance

The noun form of any verb is formed by suffixing either -ance or -ence to the verb. The noun form of the verb accept is: acceptance. Correct answer is option A.

Option A is the correct answer as 'acceptance' is the correct noun form of the verb 'accept'; it means consenting to receive or undertake something offered.

Option B is incorrect because 'accepted' is the adjective or the past participle form of the verb.

Option C is incorrect because it is spelt incorrectly.

Option D is incorrect because 'acception', which means the same as 'acceptance', was a valid word in the past, but it has now become obsolete or out-of-date.
