Question

Form a noun from the given verb-
Angry
a) Angriness
b) Angrily
c) Anger
d) Angerful

Answer 1

Hint: A verb refers to a word that indicates an action performed by the subject (noun or pronoun), whereas a noun refers to a word that is used to specify people, places, things, or animals.

Complete answer:
As given in the hint, ‘nouns’ are used to refer to the name of a person, object, place, or animal.
We use Abstract nouns to denote feelings, qualities, ideas, and concepts. Example- Happiness, honesty, old-age, etc.
Abstract nouns cannot be identified with the help of our five senses, they are also known as intangible nouns.
In the given question- We know that ‘angry’ is a verb that is used to express the action of being frustrated and annoyed by someone or something. Since ‘angry’ is a feeling, we can only form an abstract noun from it.
Now, let’s look at the given options-
Option a- ‘Angriness’ is an incorrect word as we do not use it in the English language. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
Option b- ‘Angrily’ is an adverb that is used to describe a verb. It is formed from the verb ‘angry’. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
Option c- ‘Anger’ is the abstract noun of ‘angry’ as it denotes a feeling. Hence, it is the correct option.
Option d- ‘Angerful’ is an incorrect word as no such word exists in the English language. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
So, the correct answer is “Option c”.

Note:
A large number of nouns are formed by adding suitable suffix, like ‘ness, ry, ance, etc’ to verbs. Example- Appear + ance = Appearance. But keep in mind, many words use their own distinct form of suffixes to form nouns.
