Fill in the blank with the correct form of the word given in brackets:
The farmers of the village hired three ______ to fight their land case in the Patna High Court. (attorney)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → attorneys
Plural of nouns ending in a vowel + y:
When a noun ends in a vowel + y, it keeps the y and takes -s. Attorney ends in e + y. So attorney → attorneys. An attorney is a lawyer. “Attornies” is wrong because y changes to -ies only after a consonant.
Complete sentence: The farmers of the village hired three attorneys to fight their land case in the Patna High Court.
