Words with Multiple Parts of Speech
The noun form of 'evident' is_____
Explanation:
The correct answer is C, "evidence."
When looking for the noun form of a word, it is important to consider the suffix that will indicate that it is a noun. In this case, the suffix "-ness" (option A) is often added to adjectives to form nouns, but "evidentness" is not a commonly used word in English.
Option B, "evidency," is also not a commonly used word and does not follow the typical noun-forming suffix pattern.
Option D, "evidenture," is not a recognized English word and does not make sense in the context of forming a noun from the adjective "evident."
Option C, "evidence," is the correct answer as it is a commonly used noun form of the adjective "evident." Evidence refers to something that provides proof or support for a claim, idea or argument.
