Question

Select the correct plural noun from the given singular form of the noun:
The police need ____ to close the cases. (proof) [Basic]

• A. proof
• B. proofs
• C. proof's
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B proofs

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

We form the plural noun by adding an 's' to it.

Option B: 'Proofs' is the plural form of the noun 'proof'. Hence option B is correct.

Option A: 'Proof' is a singular noun that names a piece of evidence. It's not a plural noun and hence A is wrong.

Option C is wrong because 'proof's' is a singular noun 'proof' in the possessive case (by adding 's to proof).

Option D is wrong because the answer lies in B.
