Question

Select the correct noun form of the given verb:
(confuse) There seems to be a lot of _____ in the given brief.

• A. confused
• B. confuse
• C. confusion
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C confusion

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

Option C: 'Confusion' is the noun form of the word 'confuse'. 'Confusion' names 'the state of being unclear or bewildered about something'. Hence this is the correct option.

Option A: 'Confused' is an adjective that modifies a noun. For example, a person who is unable to think clearly.

Option B: 'Confuse' is a verb that expresses an action.

These words are not nouns, hence A and B are wrong.

Option D is wrong because the answer lies in C.
