Question

Identify the noun:
Sarah looks like her grandmother.
(This question has multiple correct options.)
A) Sarah
B) Grandmother
C) Looks
D) Like

Answer 1

Hint: The noun is an important part of speech. The name of places, person and other things, is referred to as a noun. Therefore, the words that denote the name of someone or something are considered to be a noun.

Complete answer:
Let us analyze each option one by one.

Option A is Sarah. Sarah is the name of the girl who is being referred to in the sentence mentioned above. Therefore, option A is correct because ‘Sarah’ is a noun.

Option B is grandmother. The word grandmother is also a name given to relationships and is used to depict an old lady. Therefore, option B is also a noun and hence option B is also correct.

Option C is looks. This word is a verb that means it is an action word. Therefore, according to the hint, the word looks cannot be a noun. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D is like. The word like is also not a noun. The conditions mentioned in the hint are not justified in this case. Therefore, option D is also an incorrect option.

Hence, only option A and option B are the correct answers.

Note:
In a single sentence, there can be more than one noun. The nouns are generally the name of the person, thing, or any place about which the sentence is describing. Therefore, the correct answer can be identified.
