Question

n the given sentence, Identify the feminine form of the masculine noun:
The milkman arrived at six in the morning, as usual.
a)Milkgirl
b)Milklady
c)Milkmaid
d)None of these

Answer 1

Hint: The sentence contains the masculine noun ‘milkman’ which refers to a man who distributes or sells milk to people.

Complete step by step answer:
Let us look at each of the options given to us. Option a “milkgirl” is invalid. There is no such word in the English language. Thus, option a is incorrect.

Option b “milklady” is incorrect too. There is no such word in the English dictionary.

Option c “milkmaid” is not the feminine form of “milkman”. Milkmaid is a woman who milks cows or performs other tasks in her diary. There is no feminine equivalent of the word “milkman”.

Note: Do not confuse “milkmaid” for the feminine of “milkman” but both these words are used for people performing different work.
