Question

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

• A. Bed
• B. Light
• C. Hood
• D. Port

Answer 1

The correct option is B Light

When two words are brought together to yield a new meaning, they are called compounds, or compound words.

Option B: 'Moon' forms a new word, followed by the word 'light': moonlight.

'Moonlight' means 'the light of the moon'.

Hence, option B is correct.

Options A, C and D: 'Moon' does not form a compound word with 'bed', 'hood' or 'port'.

The words 'moonbed', 'moonhood' and 'moonport' do not exist in standard English language.

Hence, options A, C and D are wrong.
