Last week, some innocent people were kidnapped for ransom. Which word is a noun?

A
People
B
Ransom
C
Innocent
D

'Innocent' is an adjective describing the people. Given the options, 'Ransom' is also a correct noun, and since the question asks for a noun without further specification, 'Ransom' is a valid answer. However, 'People' is also a noun. The question is ambiguous as both A and B are nouns, but 'Ransom' is the more precise noun related to the context of kidnapping for ransom.

Choose the correct verb: He ___ urged all public sector to focus their activity.

A
Done

Therefore, 'None of these' is the best choice.
