The ______ of leaves
A) Rustle
B) Buzz
C) Ring
D) Patter

Answer 1

Hint:
1. A noun is a part of a speech that names a person, location, object, concept, behaviour or quality. Nouns can be categorised in two groups: common or proper nouns.
2. Proper nouns refer to a person, place or thing's actual name. E.g., Chelsea, Niagara falls, Teddy etc.
3. For contrast, common nouns are more widely used and they can also split into abstract, collective, compound, countable concrete, innumerable concrete and verbal.

Complete answer:
Sound consists of vibrations that we can hear. These sound waves are made up of vibrating surfaces (shaking back and forth). Sound waves move like vibrations through air, water and fixed surfaces. These waves vibrate the sensitive tissue of the eardrums as they enter our ears.

Now, let’s analyse the given options:
Option (A) Rustle - A rustling tune is a soft swinging tone, for instance, rustling of leaves in the trees. Rustling can be used as a noun or an adjective that describes the muffled tone of all instances.

Option (B) Buzz - For a low, vibrating, to use this sound to talk and murmur, humming sound, as of bee. Thus, this option is incorrect.

Option (C) RIng - A clear resonant sound produced by vibrating metal, or similar to it, for instance, a doorbell. Therefore, leaves can not make a ring sound. Thus, this option is incorrect.

Option (D) Patter - It makes a soft rhythmic, rhythmic sound as something patterns, for instance, rainfall. Thus, this option is incorrect.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: We hear a lot of sounds that are different from each other because materials are always vibrating and our ears are designed to register small variations. A metal structure that crashes on a hard floor can vibrate in a certain way to create a certain vibration. There are different types of object sounds such as “Beat” is a sound for drums, “Clank” is a sound for the chain, “Rumble” is a sound for thunder and so on.
