Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct noun is "presidents-elect" because "presidents" is plural and "elect" is a compound adjective modifying the noun. Therefore, "presidents-elect" is the correct plural form. Option A, "president-elects," is incorrect because "president" is singular and does not agree with the plural "clubs." Option C, "presidents-elects," is also incorrect because the plural of "president-elect" is "presidents-elect."
