Question

Form a noun by modifying the given verb:
emerge
(This question has multiple correct options)
(a)emergance
(b)emergence
(c)emergent
(d)emergeance

Answer 1

Hint: With the correct suffix, the noun form of the verb can be easily derived. Try to add different suffixes to the given word.

Complete answer: To change a verb to a noun in a sentence, add a determiner before the noun. If you're changing "impacted" to a noun, you would need the determiner "an" or the determiner “the.” To change “run” to a noun, you would need the determiner “the” or the determiner “a.” This is one way. Another way is to identify which suffix is correct for which verb. However, to do this correctly one will need to memorise all of them, as there is no way to guess these.
Now, we know how to convert a verb into a noun. Let’s look at the given options:
(a)emergance - Here, the suffix ‘ance’ has been added to the root word. This is an incorrect suffix, as it is not grammatically correct. This is not the noun form of ‘emerge’. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
(b)emergence - Here, the suffix ‘ence’ has been added to the root word. This is the correct suffix, as it is grammatically correct. This is the noun form of ‘emerge’. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.
(c)emergent - Here, the suffix ‘ent’ has been added to the root word. This is an incorrect suffix, as it is not grammatically correct. This is not the noun form of ‘emerge’. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
(d)emergeance - Here, the suffix ‘eance’ has been added to the root word. This is an acceptable suffix, as it is not widely recognised as incorrect. This is a noun form of ‘emerge’. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.
So, the two correct options are option b and d.

Note: Make sure that the word is grammatically correct, and is spelt correctly. Go
through the options one by one to find the correct option, with the appropriate
suffix.
