Q2: Change the Nouns in the sentences

> 1. I like reading a book in my free time.

We need to change the noun "book" to another noun — likely a plural or collective form, but since it says "change the nouns", we can interpret this as replacing the noun with a synonym or a different type of noun.

But only one sentence is visible here.

Let’s assume we are to replace "book" with another noun that fits the context.

For example:
- "I like reading a novel in my free time."
- "I like reading a magazine in my free time."
- "I like reading a newspaper in my free time."

But if the goal is to change the noun to a collective noun, then perhaps:

- "I like reading a library of books..." → but that doesn't make sense grammatically.

Alternatively, maybe they want us to use a plural noun or collective noun in place of "book".

But since the sentence says "a book", changing it to "books" would be a simple noun change.

So possible answer:

> I like reading books in my free time.

This changes the singular noun "book" to the plural "books".

Alternatively, if we're to use a collective noun:

> I like reading a library of books in my free time.

But that's more complex and may not be intended.

Most likely, the expected answer is just:

> I like reading books in my free time.

✔ So, "books" is a good replacement.

✔ Final Answer for Q2:

> I like reading books in my free time.
