Question

The singular of the word SCARVES is spelt as ____.

• A. scarve
• B. scarfe
• C. scarv
• D. none of the above

Hint:

Recall the correct spelling of the singular word first, then compare it letter by letter against the choices.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Work backward from a word you already know is correct: the singular of "scarves" is "scarf," the same pattern as "knife" becoming "knives" or "leaf" becoming "leaves," where "fe" or "f" turns into "ves" in the plural.

Now compare that known spelling, "scarf," against the three choices. "Scarve" is missing the correct ending, "scarfe" has an extra silent letter, and "scarv" is missing the "f" sound entirely. None of them match "scarf" exactly.

Since the actual word is not listed, the right answer is D, none of the above.
