The male gender noun being ‘actor’, Option A, Actress, which is the feminine counterpart of the word and also meaning the same, a person who acts in films, is the correct answer.

The given sentence has only one male gender noun and it is ‘uncle’. Ram, here is a proper noun, and thus cannot be converted though it is a male name; while officer is actually a common gender noun and can be used for both the genders.

Thus, Option A, Aunt, Is the correct answer.

Hence, Option B, Waitresses is the correct answer.

The answer to the given sentence is Option C, Duchess.

As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun, after dropping the vowel, and then adding the syllable ‘-ess’. Here, we are dropping the ‘e’ from the noun and adding the syllable to get Option C, ‘Duchess’, which is the feminine counterpart of the noun and will mean the same, being the ruler over a certain area.

Option A, Empress and Option B, Queen, are actually feminine counterparts of Emperor and King, respectively and are hence wrong answers.

It was quite hard to tame the ox on that evening.

  1. Bullock

  2. Mare

  3. Cow

  4. Vixen


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Option A: 'Bullock' is another name for an 'ox', which is a castrated bull. It's not feminine.
