Question

From the given sentence, form the feminine noun from the masculine word given, by replacing it with another word:

A group of stallions stood proudly behind the stable.

a) Horse
b) Pony
c) Mare
d) None of these

Answer 1

Hint: Stallion is an uncastrated male horse.

Complete step by step solution:

Option a, “horse” is a four-legged, plant-eating domesticated animal. It is the masculine form of the noun.

Option b, “pony” is a horse of a small breed/ a small horse.

Option c, “Mare” is a female grown up horse. It is the feminine of “horse”

Option d, none of the above is the correct answer as there is no feminine form of the noun stallion.

Note: Do not confuse “mare” as the feminine form of stallion. Stallion is just an uncastrated horse, there is no feminine form to it.
