Question

Identify the plural form of the noun given in the bracket: Few ___________ of Andaman are famous for water sports and tropical vegetation (beach)
A. beaches
B. beachs
C. beach
D. beach's

Answer 1

Hint: See the subject and the last letter of the word.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 To understand the given question, we need to understand about how plurals are written.
When a given noun ends with –s, –sh, –ch, –x, or –z we have to add –es to the end of the word to make the noun plural. For almost all other nouns –s is added to the end of the word to pluralize. On the other hand –‘s is used to indicate the belonging of the subject.
Now, let us take a look at the given options.
Option B turns the word beach into beachs. This is incorrect as beach ends with –ch and will hence not end with –s.
Option C is incorrect as it is singular and in the question the speaker is talking about more than one beach and hence, the answer cannot be singular.
Option D is incorrect as the word beach is neither the subject of the sentence and nor is anything owned by the same.
Hence, the correct answer is option A, beaches as it used –es since the word beach ends with –ch.

Note: Keep a note of the letters that the nouns must end with. Once learned and used regularly, its usage will come naturally.
