Correct Answer: A) Sheep ✅ Why? • The word “sheep” is the same in singular and plural form. • One sheep = sheep • Two sheep = sheep The word does not change. ❌ Why the others are wrong? • Cat → one cat, two cats (add -s) • Child → one child, two children (changes spelling) • Box → one box, two boxes (add -es) 📝 Simple Rule for Beginners: Most nouns add -s or -es to make plural. But some nouns are irregular. “Sheep” is special because it stays the same in singular and plural. Examples (simple): • One sheep • Many sheep • A flock of sheep (a group of sheep) 📝 Note for ESL beginners: Flock = a group of animals like sheep or birds. We still say sheep (no -s)

✅ Answer: D) The family is planning its vacation. Why? • “Family” is a collective noun. • In American English, collective nouns usually take a singular verb and a singular pronoun when the group acts as one unit. • “Is” (singular verb) and “its” (singular pronoun) match “family.”

📌 Note: In British English, option A may also be acceptable when focusing on individual members.

A) News 👉 News is an uncountable noun in English. It looks plural because it ends in -s, but it is treated as singular and does not have a plural form. ✔️ The news is interesting. ❌ The news are… (incorrect) 📌 Tip for ESL Learners: Some nouns look plural but are actually singular and uncountable, like news, information, furniture, advice. Hope you got it right!
