Answer 1

Hint: The masculine gender noun is words used for boys, men, and male animals.

Complete step-by-step answer:

The common classification of gender includes Masculine and Feminine genders.
Feminine gender noun refers to the words that are used for girls, women, and female animals. And as given in the hint, masculine gender nouns categorize males.
Let’s look at the given options to identify the masculine gender noun-
a)Crowd- It is a collective noun that refers to a group of people. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
b)Cheered- It is a verb that is describing an action performed by the crowd. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
c)Lady- It is the feminine gender noun of a gentleman. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
d)Rooster- It is the masculine equivalent of a hen. Hence, it is the correct option.
Both Hen and Rooster are also known as ‘Chickens’. But we specify these ‘chickens’ as hen and rooster to indicate their gender and growth into an adult.

Note: The word Rooster is used as a slang to define a morning person or the one who wakes up early in the morning.
