The task involves identifying whether each word in the image is a
common noun or a
proper noun. Here's how to solve it:
Definitions:
-
Common Noun: A noun that refers to general, non-specific things or people (e.g., "city," "holiday").
-
Proper Noun: A noun that names a specific person, place, thing, or idea and is always capitalized (e.g., "Canada," "Christmas").
Words in the Image:
1.
city
2.
holiday
3.
month
4.
read
5.
canada
Solution:
Let’s analyze each word:
1.
city
- This is a general term referring to any city. It is not a specific name.
-
Classification: Common Noun
2.
holiday
- This is a general term referring to any holiday. It is not a specific name.
-
Classification: Common Noun
3.
month
- This is a general term referring to any month. It is not a specific name.
-
Classification: Common Noun
4.
read
- This is a verb, not a noun. However, if we assume it was meant to be a noun (e.g., "reader"), it would still be a common noun because it refers to anyone who reads.
-
Classification: Common Noun (assuming it’s a noun)
5.
canada
- This is the name of a specific country. Proper nouns are always capitalized, but here it is written in lowercase. Assuming it should be capitalized ("Canada"), it would be a proper noun.
-
Classification: Proper Noun (if corrected to "Canada")
Final Answer:
-
city: Common Noun
-
holiday: Common Noun
-
month: Common Noun
-
read: Common Noun
-
canada: Proper Noun (if corrected to "Canada")
