From the given sentence, form a feminine noun from the masculine word given:
The Duke Of Wales inaugurated the function.Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Duchess
The answer to the given sentence is Option C, Duchess.
As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender
noun to be replaced by the feminine noun, after dropping the vowel, and then
adding the syllable ‘-ess’. Here, we are dropping the ‘e’ from the noun and
adding the syllable to get Option C, ‘Duchess’, which is the feminine
counterpart of the noun and will mean the same, being the ruler over a certain
area.
Option A, Empress and Option B, Queen, are actually feminine
counterparts of Emperor and King, respectively and are hence wrong answers.
Thus, Option C, Duchess, is the correct answers.
