My cat is sleeping.

• A. cat
• B. sleeping
• C. A & B both
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A cat

Nouns are words that name people, things, places, animals, etc.

Nouns function as the subject, object and so on in a sentence. As a subject it performs an action.

Option A: The word 'cat' names an animal in general. It functions as the subject of the given sentence, performing the action 'sleeping'.

Hence option A is correct.

Option B: 'Sleeping' is a verb that expresses an action. It's not a noun and hence B is wrong.

Option C is wrong because B: 'sleeping' is not a noun.

Option D is wrong because the answer lies in A.
