Question

1. Read the following passage and identify the nouns as proper, material and collective
nouns and complete the table appropriately.
The students of class VI of St Teresa's High School of Chennai started a project three
months ago. Their class teacher asked each of them to take care of two plants at home.
They planted tiny saplings in small steel pots which they filled with dry mud. Since
plants need water to make their food using the sunlight, each of the little gardeners
also bought small tin cans to water their plants. They put the plants outside during
day so that the plants got enough sunlight. After coming back from school, they took
the plants back into the shade to save the saplings from rain and excessive sunlight.
Riaz from Section A and Rani from Section B led the project. Both kept a diary about
the progress. Most students preferred flowers to vegetables or fruits. Many students
planted marigolds, some planted poppies and lilies, though only one student planted
roses. Bunches of buds began to appear in some plants. There were only a group of five
students in the entire class who decided to grow vegetables and fruits. Two students
planted strawberries and are now expecting a small bushel from the two plants. One
grew chilli peppers. Two students planted eggplants and now a pair of tiny eggplants
has appeared. Everyone was very excited about this gardening project, especially now
that their plants are giving fruit​
