Question

choose the suitable option to add it with the word ‘sugar’to form a compound word a) ball b) pack c) coat d) spoon​

Answer 1

The compound word of 'sugar' is 'sugar coat'.

How compound words are formed?

• When two words having a definite meaning are joined together, then a compound word is formed.
• Two individual words joined together to yield a new meaning.
• The word 'sugar coat' means to coat something with sugar to make it attractive.
• If we take it into its most usual and basic sense then it means to make things more acceptable and alluring.

Thus, the correct option is (c) coat.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this question will be (c) coat

The resulting word upon compounding both "sugar" and "coat" will be "sugarcoat", which means — to make something look attractive.

The other options are invalid, because —

1. There is no such word as "sugarball".

2. The word "pack" can only be used in terms of measuring the quantity of sugar. This, it cannot be joined with the word "sugar" in this case.

3. The word "spoon" cannot be compounded with "sugar". It can be used to refer to a small quantity of sugar or any other ingredient for preparing a dish.
