Question

Rewrite the sentence by replacing the underlined sentence with a noun-
She is a very intelligent person.
a)Her intelligence is great
b)She is an intelligent person
c)She is a person of great intelligence
d)None of the above

Answer 1

Hint:Here, we have to replace the underlined word. Read the given sentence carefully, and think of all the other words which have the same meaning as the underlined word, in the same context, but is a noun.

Complete answer: The underlined word is an adjective and we have to convert it to a noun. An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or noun phrase or describes its referent. Its semantic role is to change information given by the noun.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ is an incorrect option because it is changing the meaning of the already given sentence.
Option ‘b’ is also an incorrect option because ‘intelligent’ is an adjective and not a noun. We have to replace it with a noun.
Option ‘c’ is the correct option because the noun form of ‘intelligent' is ‘intelligence’. And it is the only option which has ‘intelligence’.
Option ‘d’ cannot be the correct option as we found the correct answer in option ‘c’.
Hence, option ‘c’ is the correct option.

Note: Uncountable nouns are always used in singular form and the articles ‘a/an’ are not used before them. The nouns ending with ‘s or es’ are used with a singular verb.
