Question

Select the noun for the following word-
                     Kind
A)Kindity
B)Kindness
C)Kindance
D)Kindence

Answer 1

Hint: Kind means to be friendly and gentle towards others. We will be using Abstract nouns to make a meaningful word out of Kind.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 The word kind has been derived from the Old English word- Gecynde, which means to have a gentle and benevolent nature.
As mentioned in the above given hint, we would be using Abstract nouns to form a word from kind, because kind is an adjective and it describes the quality of a person.
First, let’s understand about Abstract nouns:
Abstract nouns refer to things that lack a physical formation. You cannot touch or see an abstract noun, but you can only feel it. Abstract nouns express qualities, state, ideas, age groups, emotions, and feelings. A simple concept to recognize Abstract nouns is, by examining a word that cannot be identified with your five senses.
You can easily form an Abstract noun from an adjective by joining the suffix- NESS or RY in most cases. Let’s try it with Kind- Kind + ness = Kindness.
Hence, Option B is correct.

Note: The other given Options- A, C, and D are grammatically incorrect and not used in the English language.
