Question

Choose the correct noun from the alternatives given below:
You can show a driving licence to prove your __________.
A) Identify
B) Identifiable
C) identified
D) Identity

Answer 1

Hint:A noun is a word that names something. Either a person, place, animal or thing. For example: Barcelona, Leonardo da Vinci, or Toyota Corolla.

Complete answer:
Option A) Identify – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of identify is ‘establish or indicate who or what (someone or something) is or pick out or recognize or point out’ and this is not required here in the sentence because here nothing to identify. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Identifiable – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of identifiable is ‘able to be recognized; distinguishable or noticeable or known’ and identifiable is not required here in the sentence. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option C) identified - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of identified is ‘recognized or picked out’ and identifiable is not required here in the sentence. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option D) Identity – is the correct answer because the meaning of identity is ‘the fact of being who or what a person or thing is or identification or recognition’ and this is the most appropriate word in the sentence because it completes the sense in the sentence as driving license is a part of giving identity. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘D’.

Note: In this question, identity is an abstract noun which means the fact or reality of being someone. The sentence talks about the driving license that is generally used to prove one's identity. Therefore, the correct answer is option D as compared to any other option.
