Solution

The correct answer is b) nuclei, mice, emphases.

Here's why:

  1. The plural form of "nucleus" is "nuclei". This is because "nucleus" is a Latin word and in Latin, words that end in -us are made plural by changing the -us to -i.

  2. The plural form of "mouse" is "mice". This is an example of an irregular plural in English where the word changes completely in the plural form.

  3. The plural form of "emphasis" is "emphases". This is because "emphasis" is a Greek word and in Greek, words that end in -is are made plural by changing the -is to -es.
