Fill in the blank with the correct form of the word given in brackets:
Every morning, Mrs Fernandes buys two ______ of brown bread from the bakery near Mapusa market. (loaf)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → loaves
Plural of nouns ending in -f:
Many nouns ending in -f change -f to -ves in the plural. The word “two” shows that the blank needs a plural. So loaf → loaves. “Loafs” is not the plural of the noun. It is a form of the verb loaf, which means to pass time doing nothing.
Complete sentence: Every morning, Mrs Fernandes buys two loaves of brown bread from the bakery near Mapusa market.
