Question

Select the answer choice that identifies the noun in the sentence. The Brooklyn Bridge was opened in 1883.

• A. Bridge
• B. was
• C. opened
• D. in

Hint:

Proper nouns (like \emph{Brooklyn Bridge}) name specific people, places, or things, but their core word (e.g., \emph{Bridge}) is still a noun.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall the definition of a noun. A noun names a:
person,
place,
thing,
idea.
Step 2: Analyse each option.
Bridge — a thing; part of the proper noun \emph{Brooklyn Bridge}. ✔
was — a helping verb (form of \emph{be}).
opened — a verb (past participle).
in — a preposition.
Step 3: Identify the noun. Only Bridge functions as a noun in the sentence.
Hence, the correct answer is \[ \boxed{\text{Bridge}} \]
