Part 2: Multiple Choice Questions

1. Which of the following noun is a Proper Noun?
* a) singer (Common - a job)
* b) Peter (Proper - a specific name)
* c) milk (Common - a substance)
* d) sister (Common - a relationship)
* Correct Answer: b) Peter

2. Which of the following noun is a Common Noun?
* a) birds (Common - general animals)
* b) London (Proper - specific city)
* c) iron (Common - usually considered a material/common noun, but "birds" is the most standard example of countable common nouns in these tests. However, looking closely, both 'birds' and 'iron' are common nouns. Let's look at the other options. London and India are Proper. Between birds and iron, 'birds' is the clearest example of a standard common noun for living things. *Self-correction*: Actually, both A and C are technically common nouns. However, in primary school grammar, concrete objects like "birds" are the standard answer. Let's re-read carefully. Ah, wait. Usually, these questions have one clear answer. Is there a trick? No. "Birds" is definitely common. "Iron" is definitely common. Let's look at option A again. Yes, "birds" is the best fit for a standard common noun exercise.)
* *Let's double check.* If the question implies singular vs plural, "bird" would be the base form. But "birds" is still a common noun. Let's look at C. Iron is a material. It is also a common noun. This is a slightly flawed question, but a) birds is the most typical answer expected in this context.
* Correct Answer: a) birds

3. Which of the following noun is a Collective Noun?
* The image cuts off the options for question 3. However, based on the previous exercises, you should look for a word that represents a group.
* Examples of collective nouns include: *team, class, family, herd, flock, bunch, committee.*
* Look for the option in your book that fits this description.
