Question

Choose the correct noun form of the given verb-
Rob
(a)Robbing
(b)Robbery
(c)Robber
(d)Robe

Answer 1

Hint: There are many words which can be derived from a single word. All the other words are the other parts of speech, which are different from that of the original word.

Complete answer: In the given question, we are provided with a verb that is “rob”. To rob is to take property unlawfully from (a person or place) by force or threat of force. For example: “he tried, with three others, to rob a bank”. We have to find out the ‘noun form' of this verb. A verb is an action word. It describes the act of doing something in a sentence. A noun is a word that functions as the name of a specific object or set of objects, such as living creatures, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas. A noun, here, should be the act of robbing.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ is Robbing. It is also a verb form and cannot be the correct answer.
Option ‘b' is Robbery. It is a noun which means - the action of taking property unlawfully from a person or place by force or threat of force.
Option ‘c’ is Robber. It is someone who robs. It is not a noun.
Option ‘d’ is Robe. It is a kind of garment and is not related to the given word.
Hence, option ‘b’ is the correct option.

Note: Using nouns as verbs can be helpful if you're trying to sound less emotional and more objective. If dealing with sensitive information, for example, it can be beneficial to sound a little technical.
