Educational worksheet for identifying common and proper nouns with example sentences and clues.

Let's solve both parts of the task step by step.

---

A. Choose the correct common nouns in the sentences given below:

We need to fill in the blanks with appropriate common nouns (general names for people, places, things, or ideas — not specific names).

1. Mount Everest is the highest _________ in the world.
→ mountain
*(Mount Everest is a mountain; "mountain" is a common noun.)*

2. The Karnali descending from Mt. Kailash in Tibet is a mighty _________.
→ river
*(Karnali is a river; "river" is a common noun.)*

3. Oreo is my favourite _________.
→ cookie
*(Oreo is a type of cookie; "cookie" is a common noun.)*

4. Siddhartha and Maya are the best _________ of Grade V.
→ students
*(They are students; "students" is a common noun.)*

5. Tom and Jerry is a famous _________.
→ cartoon
*(It’s an animated show; "cartoon" is a common noun.)*

6. Harry Potter is a series of fantasy _________ written by J.K. Rowling.
→ books
*(The Harry Potter series consists of books; "books" is a common noun.)*

7. Mr. Dhakal has three _________, two sons and a daughter.
→ daughters
*(He has two sons and one daughter, so he has three children; but since it says “three _________,” and mentions two sons and one daughter, the plural form is needed. But the blank refers to the number of daughters? Wait — actually, if he has two sons and one daughter, that makes three children total. But the sentence says "three _________, two sons and a daughter." That suggests the first blank is for the *other* children. But that doesn't make sense. Let's re-read: "Mr. Dhakal has three _________, two sons and a daughter." This seems grammatically off unless "three" refers to something else. Actually, this may be a typo or misphrasing. But logically, if he has two sons and one daughter, then he has three children. So the blank should be children.*
→ children

8. London is the capital _________ of the United Kingdom.
→ city
*(London is a city; "city" is a common noun.)*

9. The Avengers is my favourite _________.
→ movie / film / superhero team
→ Best fit: movie or series (depending on context). Since "The Avengers" is a film franchise, the most common answer would be movie.
→ movie

B. Enter the correct proper nouns to the hints given below:

Now we need to write proper nouns — specific names of people, places, things, etc., which are capitalized.

1. The Light of Asia
→ This is a nickname for Buddha (Gautama Buddha), often called "The Light of Asia".
→ Buddha

2. The longest river in the world
→ The Nile River is traditionally considered the longest river.
→ Nile River

3. The largest continent on Earth
→ Asia

4. The richest man in the world
→ As of recent years, this changes, but commonly associated with Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. However, since this is likely a fixed answer expected, and considering global recognition, Jeff Bezos was often cited. But note: this can vary. For educational purposes, let's use a widely recognized name.
→ Jeff Bezos *(Note: This may change over time.)*
Alternatively, Elon Musk is also valid. But since the question is static, we’ll go with Jeff Bezos as a standard answer.

5. The Lady with a Lamp
→ This is a nickname for Florence Nightingale, a pioneering nurse.
→ Florence Nightingale

6. The author of the book ‘Because of Winn-Dixie’
→ The author is Kate DiCamillo
→ Kate DiCamillo

7. Pen name of Pradeep Kumar Rai
→ Pradeep Kumar Rai writes under the pen name Parijat
→ Parijat

8. Which school do you study in?
→ This is a personal question, so the answer depends on the student. But since it's asking for a proper noun, the expected format is a specific school name.
→ Example: ABC International School *(But since it's generic, the answer will vary. However, in such exercises, students are expected to write their own school's name.)*
→ [Your School Name] *(e.g., St. Xavier's School)*

9. The first month of the year
→ January
