Question

Select the correct plural noun from the given singular form of the noun:
We saw so many _____ in the field. (buffalo)

• A. buffalo
• B. buffalo's
• C. buffaloes
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C buffaloes

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

When a noun ends with an 'o', we form the plural noun by adding an 'es' to it ('o' in 'buffalo').

Option C: 'Buffaloes' is the plural form of the noun 'buffalo'. Hence option C is correct.

Option A: 'Buffalo' is a singular noun that names an animal. It's not a plural noun and hence B is wrong.

Option B is wrong because 'buffalo's' is a singular noun 'buffalo' in the possessive case, by adding 's to it.

Option D is wrong because the answer lies in C.
