Question

Choose the option that best corrects the statement at the underlined point:
The prettiest looking objects in the room were the floral vase.

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. the flowery wallpaper
• C. the pot of flowers
• D. the floral teacups

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

There are two numbers in Noun-Number: Singular and Plural. When we speak about one person / thing, we use the noun in singular form. When we speak about more than one person / thing, we use the noun in plural form.

In the sentence given, we are referring to 'objects' which implies that the noun in the blank should be a plural one. In the options given, 'the pot' is singular so option D is incorrect. Options A and B are also incorrect because they are singular.

Hence, the correct answer is C) The floral teacups (plural).
