Question

Choose the option in which the noun changes from a Common Noun to a Proper Noun.

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

river $\rightarrow$ Ganga

A common noun names a general class of people, places, or things, while a proper noun names a specific, particular one and is always capitalised.

"River" is a common noun referring to any river in general, while "Ganga" names one specific river, making it a proper noun.

"Mountain to hill," "city to town," and "boy to child" are all pairs of common nouns describing general categories, with no shift to a specific named entity.

Therefore, "river to Ganga" correctly shows a change from a common noun to a proper noun.
