To identify the choice that best describes the word "report," we can begin by understanding what each of the options means:
1. Common noun: A common noun is a general name for a person, place, thing, or idea that is not specific or unique. Examples include "car," "dog," or "book."
2. Proper noun: A proper noun is the specific name of a particular person, place, or thing. Examples include "Carlos," "New York," or "Mount Everest."
3. Compound noun: A compound noun is formed by combining two or more words to create a single noun. Examples include "basketball," "butterfly," or "school bus."
4. Collective noun: A collective noun refers to a group of people, animals, or objects. Examples include "team," "herd," or "flock."
Based on the given sentence, "Carlos wrote a report about modern foods for his social studies class," we can see that "report" is not a specific name (proper noun) or a combination of two or more words (compound noun). It also does not represent a collective group. Therefore, the best choice is a common noun, as "report" is a general name for a written or spoken account or description of an event, situation, or topic.
