a) foxs
b) foxes
c) foxen
d) foxies
The correct answer is:
b) foxes
Explanation:
Most nouns ending in -x, -s, -sh, or -ch form their plural by adding -es (not just -s).
Example:
box → boxes
bus → buses
brush → brushes
fox → foxes
Why the others are wrong:
a) foxs – Incorrect, because nouns ending in -x don’t just add -s.
c) foxen – Incorrect, this is an old/archaic plural form used for some words (like ox → oxen) but not for “fox.”
d) foxies – Incorrect, this would mean “small or cute foxes” in a slang/diminutive sense, not the standard plural.
Correct plural: foxes.
