Answer 1

Hint: A noun is the name of a person, place, or thing in any given situation or at any particular time.

Complete answer:
 A noun is a word that functions seem like a name of a specific object or set of objects, such as living creatures, places, action, qualities, state of existence, or ideas. However, now is not a semantic category, so that it cannot be categorized in terms of its meaning. In the given question we have to fill in the blank with the correct noun from the four given options.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ is A democracy. It is the correct option because only ‘a’ can be used before ‘democracy’ in the given sentence.
Option ‘b' is Some democracy. Democracy is the system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of the state, typically through elected representatives. So, ‘some’ cannot be used with it.
Option ‘c' is democracy. ‘Democracy' doesn’t start with a vowel. So, ‘an’ cannot be used.
Option ‘d’ is Democracy. Nothing is placed before ‘democracy’. It will make the given sentence grammatically incorrect, so we will eliminate this option.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the correct noun to be filled in the blank is – A democracy. The complete sentence would be – The USA is a democracy. So, the correct answer is “Option a”.

Note:
 Don’t confuse between ‘some’ and ‘a’. ‘Some' is used with things and ‘democracy’ is not a thing. All the other options are plausible distractions.
