Some examples of tricky plurals include

a.changing to y to it and adding -es in nouns that end in y after a consonant, as in city/cities.
b.changing f or fe to a v and adding -es to most singular common nouns that end in f or fe, as seen in life/lives.
c.making compound nouns plural by adding -s or es on the most important word, as seen in mothers-in-law/well-wishers.
d.
I am think d.
The correct way to fix a comma splice by
a.adding a coordinating conjunction or a subordinating conjunction.
b. replacing the comma with a semicolon or creating two separate sentences.
c.replacing the comma with a hyphen or parentheses.
d. both a and b.

What is d? a, b, and c are also tricky plurals.

What is your answer for the second question.

All of the above is correct for the first question.

D. is correct for the second question.

I said d

How it d?

Investigate the plurals of nouns

To answer the first question, let's break down each statement to determine if it correctly explains how to form the plural of certain nouns.

a. Changing the "y" to "i" and adding "-es" after a consonant, as in city/cities - This rule applies to nouns ending in "y" after a consonant. By changing the "y" to "i" and adding "-es" at the end, you can form the plural. For example, "city" becomes "cities." This statement correctly explains the rule.

b. Changing "f" or "fe" to "v" and adding "-es" to most singular common nouns that end in "f" or "fe", as seen in life/lives - This rule applies to nouns that end in "f" or "fe." By changing the "f" or "fe" to "v" and adding "-es" at the end, the plural form can be obtained. For instance, "life" becomes "lives." This statement also correctly explains the rule.

c. Making compound nouns plural by adding "-s" or "-es" to the most important word, as seen in mothers-in-law/well-wishers - This rule applies to compound nouns. To form the plural, "-s" or "-es" is added to the most significant word in the compound noun. Examples include "mothers-in-law" and "well-wishers." Thus, this statement correctly explains the rule.

By analyzing all the statements, we find that they are all correct and accurately explain how to form the plural of certain nouns.

Moving on to the second question, the correct way to fix a comma splice is by either:

a. Adding a coordinating conjunction or a subordinating conjunction - A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are erroneously joined by a comma without a coordinating conjunction or a subordinating conjunction. To fix this, you can add a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," "or," etc.) or a subordinating conjunction (such as "although," "because," "unless," etc.) to properly connect the clauses.

b. Replacing the comma with a semicolon or creating two separate sentences - Another way to correct a comma splice is by replacing the comma with a semicolon. This effectively separates the independent clauses while maintaining a logical connection between them. Alternatively, you can split the sentence into two separate sentences, each containing one independent clause.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is option d - both a and b. Both adding a coordinating conjunction or a subordinating conjunction and replacing the comma with a semicolon or creating two separate sentences can rectify a comma splice.
