Question

Select the correct plural noun form from the given singular form of the noun:
Diana clicked so many _________ at the wedding. (photo)
a. Photo
b. Photo’s
c. Photos
d. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Most plural nouns are formed by adding an ‘s’ to the end of the word.

Complete step-by-step answer:

In its most basic sense, the singular is something that is single. It is a single item as opposed to many. In contrast to this, plural stands for many. You could say that it is the opposite of singular as they are two contrary concepts. There are many ways of making a noun plural. The most basic way is to add an ‘s’ to the end of the word. E.g. horse - horses.
Let us look at the options given above.
Option ‘a’ photo stands for a single photograph. This means that it is singular.
Option ‘b’ photos is not a valid word. Generally, we use apostrophe s when showing a relation between a person and another thing. This word is neither singular or plural.
Option ‘c’ photographs stand for many photographs. Therefore, it is plural.
Option ‘d’ none of the above is invalid as the options are a mixture of singular and plural words.
We have looked at the explanation given above and found only option ‘c’ photos to be plural. This means that it is the correct choice for the question. Therefore, the option ‘c’ is the correct answer.

Note: Let us look at the problematic aspects of this question. It is possible that students may select option ‘b’ as the answer as it ends with an ‘s’. Therefore, it is necessary that students pay attention to the options and their nuances.
