Question

The singular of the word SCARVES is spelt as _________

• A. scarve
• B. scarfe
• C. scarv
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In English, the singular form of most nouns ending in '-ves' is typically formed by replacing '-ves' with '-f' or '-fe'. Examples include:

• Wolves → Wolf
• Leaves → Leaf

However, for the word 'scarves', the singular form is 'scarf'. None of the given options (scarve, scarfe, scarv) are correct spellings of the singular form. Therefore, the correct answer is 'none of the above'.
