Question and options
Identify the correctly spelt plural form of the noun "phenomenon":
- Phenomenons
- Phenomenonses
- Phenomena
- Phenomenas
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Phenomena
Phenomenon is a noun borrowed from Greek, and it keeps the Greek plural ending -a, so the plural is phenomena. "Phenomenas" wrongly adds an English -s to a word that is already plural, and "phenomenons" and "phenomenonses" are not standard plurals.
