Question

Select the correct plural noun from the given singular form of the noun:
Most _________ are housewives in this city. (Woman) [Basic]

• A. Woman
• B. Women
• C. Women's
• D. Woman's

Answer 1

The correct option is B Women

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

We form the plural noun by changing the vowel in the singular noun 'woman'. ('e' replaces 'o' in woman).

Option B: 'Women' is the plural form of the noun 'woman'. Hence option B is correct.

Option A: 'Woman' is a singular noun that names a female human being. It's not a plural noun and hence A is wrong.

Options C and D: ''Woman's' is a singular noun (woman) in the possessive case ('s refers to possession).

Women's is a plural noun in the possessive case. But, the sentence does not indicate any possession.

Hence these options are wrong.
