Choice-A

Choice A is correct. "Elephant" is a noun because it names a person, place, thing, or animal. Just like "dog" or "cat," it tells us what something is. So when we say "elephant," we’re talking about a big, gray animal with a long trunk and floppy ears!

Correct noun

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect. "Elephant" is a noun, not a pronoun. Pronouns replace nouns (like "he" or "she"). "Elephant" names a big animal. So, it’s a noun.

Wrong pronoun

Choice-C

Choice C is incorrect. An elephant is a noun, not an adjective. Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. Adjectives are words that describe nouns. So, saying "elephant" is an adjective is incorrect. Elephants are big animals!

Wrong adjective

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect. "Elephant" is a noun, not an adverb. It’s a name for a big animal. Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, like "slowly" or "very." So saying "Elephant" is an adverb is like saying "running" is a color!

Wrong adverb
