Question

Select the correct noun form of the given verb:
(propose) Their _________ came as a big surprise.

• A. propose
• B. proposed
• C. proposing
• D. proposal

Answer 1

The correct option is D proposal

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

'Propose' expresses the action of making an offer to someone for marriage.

Option D: 'Proposal' is the noun form of the verb 'propose'. It names 'an offer of marriage'. Hence option D is correct.

Option A: 'Propose' is a verb and not a noun.

Option B: 'Proposed' is a past tense verb.

Option C: 'Proposing' is a present participle that expresses the action 'to propose' in a continuous tense. It's not a noun.

Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
