Let's solve the task step by step.
Task:
Read the underlined words and write
C for *common noun* and
P for *proper noun* in the space given.
---
We need to identify whether each underlined word is a
common noun (a general name for a person, place, thing, or idea) or a
proper noun (a specific name of a person, place, organization, etc., that starts with a capital letter).
Let’s go through each sentence:
---
1.
The lion was playing with the cubs.
- "lion" → common noun (general animal)
- "cubs" → common noun (young animals)
✔ C
2.
Holi is a festival of colors.
- "Holi" → proper noun (specific festival name)
✔ P
3.
Many trees shed their leaves in winter.
- "trees" → common noun
- "leaves" → common noun
- "winter" → common noun (season)
✔ C
4.
Pranali and Sri were watching television.
- "Pranali" → proper noun (person's name)
- "Sri" → proper noun (title/name, often used in names like Sri Lanka or as a respectful prefix)
✔ P
5.

- "necklace" → common noun
- "garden" → common noun

10.
Puneet and his family lived in an old house.
