Explanation:
Let’s go step by step:

We need to change each sentence into plural — meaning more than one.

1. “There is a child…” → *child* becomes children (irregular plural).
2. “He is your best friend.” → *friend* becomes friends (just add -s).
3. “There is a pet under the book.” → *pet* → pets (+s).
4. “He has got an orange in his hand.” → *hand* → hands (+s).
5. “She has got a child.” → again, *child* → children.
6. “My neighbor usually buys… in this shopping centre.” → *boy* → boys (+s).
7. “Don’t like this book.” → *book* → books (+s).
8. “That is the best cake I’ve ever eaten.” → *cake* → cakes (+s).

Remember:
- Most nouns just add -s (like friend → friends).
- Some change completely — like *child* → *children*.
- If a word ends in *-y* and the letter before it is a consonant (like *baby*), change *y* to *i* and add *-es* → *babies*. But in this task, only *child* and *cake* needed special attention — and *cake* just adds *-s*.

So the plurals are: children, friends, pages, hands, girls, babies, books, cakes.
