Question

Select the answer choice that identifies the noun in the sentence. The works of many great poets have been placed on reserve.

• A. many
• B. great
• C. placed
• D. reserve

Hint:

To identify a noun, ask:
Can I name it?
Can it be a person, place, or thing? Adjectives describe nouns; verbs show action.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Recall what a noun is. A noun is a word that names a:
person,
place,
thing,
idea.
Step 2: Analyse each option.
many — a determiner/quantifier, not a noun.
great — an adjective describing the noun \emph{poets}.
placed — a verb (past participle form of \emph{place}).
reserve — a thing/place (library reserve section), hence a noun.
Step 3: Identify the correct noun. Among the given options, only reserve functions as a noun in the sentence.
Hence, the correct answer is \[ \boxed{\text{reserve}} \]
