Kites . . . . . . . . the plural form of kite.
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Definition:
In this sentence, "Kites" refers to the name of a singular grammatical entity—the plural form of "kite." Even though "kites" typically refers to multiple objects, here it is being treated as a singular concept, similar to how words like "mathematics" or "news" are singular despite ending in "s." Correct Answer:
The correct option is Option A: is.
Explanation:
- The sentence defines a grammatical rule rather than referring to multiple physical kites.
- In English, when referring to the plural form of a word as a singular concept, we treat it as a singular noun.
- The correct verb to use with singular subjects in the present tense is "is."
- Therefore, the correct sentence is: Kites is the plural form of kite.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
- Option B: are → Incorrect because "are" is used for plural subjects, but here "Kites" is treated as a singular grammatical term.
- Option C: do → Incorrect because "do" is used as an auxiliary verb and does not fit the sentence structure.
- Option D: have → Incorrect because "have" is used for possession, not for defining a grammatical term.
Final Answer: Option A: is.
