Fill in the blank with the correct form of the word given in brackets:
Mr and Mrs Bhatia have two ______, and both of them came home for the Lohri dinner. (son-in-law)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → sons-in-law
Plural of compound nouns:
In a compound noun, the main word takes the plural ending. In son-in-law the main word is son. So son-in-law → sons-in-law. The -s is added to son, not to the end of the whole word.
Complete sentence: Mr and Mrs Bhatia have two sons-in-law, and both of them came home for the Lohri dinner.
