1. What is the difference between a common noun and a proper noun?
A proper noun names a person, place or thing, and is always capitalized.
A common noun is only used for the people, places and things we see every day.
A proper noun can only be used in formal settings like school or work.
A common noun always follows a verb, a proper noun never does.
2.
Which of the following is the correct pluralization of the singular noun, baby?”
babes
baby’s
babies
babys
3.
Which of the following possessive nouns completes the following sentence? “The heartbreak showed on his face when he discovered his new bike had been stolen.”
boy’s
boys
boy
boys’

I'm pretty sure #1 is A. This is because a proper noun has a specific name for the object. For example, instead of "the boy" -- which is a common noun -- you'd use "John" or whatever name you want to put there.

#2 is C; when a noun ends in y, and you want to make it plural, you must replace the y with ies. The reason why it wouldn't be B is because adding 's makes it possessive, which means ownership. For example, "That baby's toy is so cute!"

#3 is A; this brings us back to #2, which is where I talked about possessive nouns. The sentence is saying that his heartbreak was showing. It implies that he is heartbroken, or the heartbreak belongs to him. (It sounds weird, but I'm sure you understand haha.)

Explanation:

So, to sum all of this up,

#1 is probably A because proper nouns have an exact name rather than a normal name such as "a building".

#2 is C because when nouns which end with y change into ies when plural.

#3 is A because the sentence implies possession of feeling heartbroken over something.

Give brainliest? :D

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
