In the given sentence, identify the feminine form of the masculine noun:
The dogs stopped barking as the master arrived.
Explanation
From the given sentence, form a feminine noun from the masculine word given:
The answer to the given sentence is Option C, Duchess.
As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun, after dropping the vowel, and then adding the syllable ‘-ess’. Here, we are dropping the ‘e’ from the noun and adding the syllable to get Option C, ‘Duchess’, which is the feminine counterpart of the noun and will mean the same, being the ruler over a certain area.
Option A, Empress and Option B, Queen, are actually feminine counterparts of Emperor and King, respectively and are hence wrong answers.
Thus, Option C, Duchess, is the correct answers.
Replace the masculine noun with its feminine counterpart, in the following sentence:
It was quite hard to tame the ox on that evening. [Intermediate]
The answer to the given sentence is Option A, Lioness.
As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun, without dropping the vowel, and then adding the syllable ‘-ess’. Here in the sentence, the male gender noun, ‘Lion’ has to be kept as it is, while adding the syllable. Thus, the meaningful counterpart that we get is ‘Lioness’, which means the female version of the Lion from the cat family. While Option B, Cheetah is a common gender noun, option C, tigress, is a feminine gender noun which is the counterpart of Tiger.
Thus, Option A, Lioness, is the correct answer.
From the given sentence, form a feminine noun from the masculine word underlined:
Option C is correct. The masculine noun “heir” can be changed into its feminine form by adding the suffix “-ess” to it, giving “heiress”.
Option A is incorrect as “princess” is the feminine form of the masculine noun “prince”
Option B is incorrect. “Duchess” is the feminine form of the noun “duke”.
Option D is incorrect as “queen” is the feminine form of the masculine noun “king”.
In the given sentence, change the underlined masculine noun to feminine:
The principal applauded the head boy for his contribution to the school.
The answer to the given sentence is Option A, Head girl.
As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun, by adding a word before or after that. In the given sentence, the male noun given is ‘Head boy’, a term used for the head of the boys' section of a school or an educational institute. Thus, ‘Head girl’ would be the exact, apt opposite counterpart of the noun given, as a school requires one.
The other options, B, C and D are all ineligible terms which do not fit in as the exact opposite of the noun given in the sentence, and hence, option A, Headgirl, is the correct answer.
From the given sentence, form a feminine noun from the masculine one:
The answer to the given sentence would be Option B, Feminine.
As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun. The only word which is masculine in nature is ‘masculine’ itself, and going by grammar, the word that is the exact counterpart of the same is ‘feminine’, which is option B, which will qualities related to a female.
The other Options B and C, though are feminine in nature, do not form the exact opposite of the word ‘masculine’.
Thus, Option B, Feminine is the correct answer.
The answers to the given sentence are Option B, Lady and option D, Woman.
As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun. The male gender noun mentioned in the sentence is ‘gentleman’, a term used for a man possessing good qualities with regards to behaviour and work. The word which forms the word’s feminine counter part is Option B, lady and Option D, Woman, which mean the same.
There is no specific term for a lady who is gentle in nature, and thus the other options are to be considered wrong.
Hence, Option B, Lady and Option D, Woman are the correct answers for the given sentence.
The answer to the given sentence is Option A, Countess.
As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun, without dropping the vowel, and then adding the syllable ‘-ess’. The male gender noun in the sentence, ‘Count’ is a term used for a person who rules a certain area, much like a King or a mayor. The feminine gender noun with the same meaning is ‘Countess’, that is Option A.
While Option B, Counting and option C, County, are not related to the male gender noun that is mentioned in the sentence, and are wrong answers. Hence, option A, Countess is the correct answer.
From the given sentence, form a feminine noun from the masculine one, by placing a word before or after:
The answer to the given sentence is Option B, Peahen.
As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun, by adding a word before or after that. The male noun, ‘Peacock’, is a bird which possesses a feature of beautiful long feathers which tends to expand and form a semicircular shape when it rains. The only Option correct in the manner of meaning and being the exact feminine counterpart is ‘Peahen’, that is Option B.
The rest other options are all words, which do not actually exist and are hence wrong making option B the correct answer.
From the given sentence, form a feminine noun from the masculine word given, by adding a syllable to the same, without dropping the vowel:
Option B is correct. The masculine form of the noun “poet” can be turned into its feminine form by adding the suffix “-ess”, resulting in “poetess”
Option A is incorrect as there is no such word as “poetee”.
Option C is incorrect as “singer” is a common gender noun. It can be either male or female. Moreover, its meaning is entirely different from “poet”.
Option D is incorrect as “artist” is a common gender noun and like option C, its meaning is entirely different from “poet”.
From the given sentence, form a feminine noun from the masculine noun given:
The author was on the verge of a new idea.
The answer to the given sentence is Option D, Authoress.
As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun, without dropping the vowel, and then adding the syllable ‘-ess’. The male gender noun, ‘Author’ is used for a person who has written a book (writer), of which the feminine counterpart is ‘authoress’, that is option D, which follows the rule of the question and means the same as well. While Option B, Writeress, is a word which does not exist, Option A, Writer is a common gender noun. Option C, Poetess, is actually the female gender noun of which the male counterpart will be ‘poet’.
Thus, Option D, Authoress, is the correct answer.
