I'll solve this problem by identifying the common nouns in each sentence. A common noun is a general name for a person, place, thing, or idea, as opposed to a proper noun which names a specific person, place, thing, or idea.
Let me go through each sentence one by one:
1. "My mom is a photographer." - Common nouns: mom, photographer
2. "We went to the zoo yesterday." - Common noun: zoo
3. "Australia is the smallest continent." - Common noun: continent (Australia is a proper noun)
4. "Joseph is watering the plants in the garden." - Common nouns: plants, garden (Joseph is a proper noun)
5. "Please close the door while leaving." - Common noun: door
6. "Nasif wants to become an astronaut." - Common noun: astronaut (Nasif is a proper noun)
7. "The guests brought a bouquet of flowers." - Common nouns: guests, bouquet, flowers
8. "The soldiers were rewarded with gold badges." - Common nouns: soldiers, badges (gold is an adjective)
Now I'll circle these common nouns in the image.
Wait, let me double-check my analysis to make sure I've correctly identified all the common nouns and not confused them with proper nouns.
After reviewing, my analysis appears correct. The common nouns are:
- Sentence 1: mom, photographer
- Sentence 2: zoo
- Sentence 3: continent
- Sentence 4: plants, garden
- Sentence 5: door
- Sentence 6: astronaut
- Sentence 7: guests, bouquet, flowers
- Sentence 8: soldiers, badges
I've completed the task of identifying the common nouns in each sentence.
