Answer 1

Hint: A ‘noun’ refers to a word that is used to indicate the name of a person, place, thing or an animal, whereas a ‘verb’ refers to a word that is used to indicate an action that is performed by the subject.

Complete answer:
We use the word ‘manage’ as a verb because it indicates the action of controlling or supervising over something.
The word ‘manage’ has been derived from the Latin word- Manus.
We know the meaning and the origin of the verb ‘manage’. Now, let’s look at its usage:
Example- The businessman’s younger daughter has managed the company for years. Here, we can understand that the businessman’s younger daughter, ‘X’ has controlled the company for years.
Now, let’s decipher the meaning of the given options to find its noun form-
Option a- ‘Management’ is a noun which is used to indicate the administration or branch of an organization that deals or controls the things. Example- I will report this incident to the management. ‘Management’ is the noun form of the verb ‘manage’. Hence, it is the correct option.
Option b- ‘Managerial’ is an adjective that is used to describe the skills or qualities required to be hired as a manager. Example- He has been studying and preparing for the managerial post. ‘Managerial’ is not the noun form of the verb ‘manage’. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
Option c- ‘Managing’ is a verb that is used to denote the action of supervising or controlling things. Example- She has been managing the accounts department for years. ‘Managing’ is not the noun form of the verb ‘manage’. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
Option d- ‘Manageable’ is an adjective that is used to describe something that is achievable or reasonable. Example- She only takes up tasks that are manageable. ‘Manageable’ is not the noun form of the verb ‘manage’. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
The correct answer is Option ‘a’.

Note: We can easily form the noun form of a verb by adding suitable suffixes like; ance, ence, ment, tion etc.
