Answer 1

Answer:

A basic definition of a common noun is a person, place, thing or idea that is not specific rather generic. A common noun is only capitalized when it is at the beginning of a sentence. Proper nouns are the names of a particular person, place or thing and are very specific. It is easy to identify proper nouns as they always start with a capital letter.

In the given sentence 'George' is a proper noun as it is the name of a specific person and 'bat' is the common noun as it is the name of a non-specific, generic thing. According to this, options A and D are the correct answers, making options B and C incorrect.
