Question

Identify the 'neuter gender noun' from the given sentence:

The child was so engrossed in stitching the shoe that the strong winds had little effect on him. [Intermediate]

• A. child
• B. shoe
• C. stitch
• D. strong

Answer 1

The correct option is B shoe

A neuter gender noun is a noun that denotes a lifeless or inanimate thing or object. It is neither masculine nor feminine.

Option B is correct as "shoe" is a noun of an inanimate object that is neither masculine nor feminine.

Option A is incorrect. "Child" is a common gender noun that can be either masculine or feminine (a child can be either male or female).

Option C is incorrect. "Stitch", in this sentence, is not a noun, but a verb.

Option D is incorrect. "Strong", here, is not a noun, but an adjective that describes the wind.
