Answer 1

Answer: (C)

priest

Nominative case is the "subject" of the sentence i.e the person/ thing that carries out the verb/action in the sentence. In the given sentence:

The word, prayed in Option A, is a verb in simple past tense, and not a noun.

The word, villagers in Option B is a common noun. However, this word is not in nominative case as the "villagers" are not performing any action.

The word, priest in Option C, is the noun in the nominative case because he performs the action of praying.

The word, "The" in Option D is a not a noun. It is an article.

Hence Option C is the correct answer.
