Question

Diana clicked so many __________ at the wedding. (Photo)
A. Photo
B. Photo’s
C. Photos
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: A noun is the name of the person, place, or thing. A plural form of a noun expresses more than one entity of the noun. Example: Pen- Pens. A plural form is generally formed by adding -s, -es, -ies. Though there are exceptions as in every thumb rule. Example: Calf- Calves. Let us look for an option which is the plural form of the noun ‘photo’.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually in detail to figure out the correct answer with the help of the above stated hint.

Photo: The word ‘photo’ is the short form of the word ‘photograph’ which means a clucked picture of a particular moment. This word is in its singular form. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Photo’s : The word ‘photo’s’ with an apostrophe ‘s signifies something that is owned or possessed by a photo. Example: This photo’s clarity is not good. This is not a plural form of the noun, therefore this is not the correct option.

Photos : The word ‘photos’ is the plural form of the noun ‘photo’ which is used to refer to more than one photo. Therefore, this is the correct option.

None of the above : This option is invalid as the answer lies in option C. In case, the above options were wrong, this option would be the answer.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:A singular form of a noun represents a single entity. Example: A house, a flower. A plural form of noun is used to express more than one entity. Example: Houses, flowers. Though there are some exceptions in which the plural form of the noun remains the same as the singular form. Example: Air, Water, Hair, Milk etc.
