Question

Which of the words given below can be placed after the word head to form a compound word?

• A. Role
• B. Leader
• C. Manager
• D. Master

Answer 1

The correct option is D Master

'Compound words are formed when two or more words are put together to form a new word, generally with a new meaning.'

Option D: 'Head' forms a compound noun with 'master': headmaster.

A 'headmaster' is 'the principal of a private school', or 'the head of a school'.

Hence option D is correct.

Options A, B and C: 'Head' does not form a compound word with 'role', 'leader' or 'manager'.

The words 'headrole', 'headleader' and 'headmanager' do not exist in standard English language.

Hence, options A, B and C are wrong.
