Detailed explanation-1: -A noun is a word that refers to a thing (book), a person (Noah Webster), an animal (cat), a place (Omaha), a quality (softness), an idea (justice), or an action (yodeling). It’s usually a single word, but not always: cake, shoes, school bus, and time and a half are all nouns.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is Mechanism.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nouns are commonly defined as people, places, or things. They address the “who” or “what” of a sentence. The most reliable sign that a given word is a noun is if it follows an article like “the” or “a.” Examples: The world is round. I saw a vampire last night. Nouns can also follow possessives or numbers.
