Which of the following nouns represents the correct plural form of the word syllabus?
A. Syllabus
B. Syllaba
C. Syllabi
D. Syllabis
ANS}: - C. The word syllabi is the correct plural form of syllabus.
- The other answer choices reflect incorrect plural forms. Specifically, syllabus does not change the form at all, and the Latin root of syllabus would require some change. - At the same time, syllaba - while an accurate plural for some words with Latin roots - is incorrect in this case.
- And syllabis is a double form of the plural, so it cannot be correct.
