Question

Select the correct plural noun from the given singular form of the noun:
All my ____ have to be removed. (tooth)

• A. tooths
• B. teeth
• C. tooth's
• D. teeth's

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Nouns are words that name people, things, places, animals, etc.

The sentence starts with all, which indicates that not one but more than one tooth has to be removed.

Option B: 'Teeth' is the plural form of the noun 'tooth'. Hence, option B is correct.

Option A: 'Tooths' is not the plural form of 'tooth'. It must be formed by replacing 'oo' and not adding 's' to the noun.

Options C: 'Tooth's' is a singular noun (tooth) in the possessive case ('s refers to possession).

Option D: Teeth's is a plural noun in the possessive case. But, the sentence does not indicate any possession.

Hence, these options are wrong.
