Question

Identify the noun in the nominative case in the below sentence:
The rich man gave a few coins to the blind beggar.

• A. man
• B. coins
• C. blind
• D. beggar

Answer 1

The correct option is A man

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, man in Option A, is the noun in the nominative case because he performs the action of giving.

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

The word, blind in Option C, is not a noun. It is an adjective.

The word, beggar in Option D is a common noun. However, the beggar is not the noun in nominative case as he is not performing any action.

Hence Option A is the correct answer.
