What is wrong with this text?

There are parts of the Cordilleras were you can hear loud ________of your voice if you shout loud enough.

  1. echos

  2. echoes

  3. echos'

  4. echoses
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Echo is a noun that ends in -o, and like other similar words (potato, tomato, hero, torpedo), it forms its plural by adding -es to become echoes. This pattern follows standard English rules for words ending in consonant + o. Echos would be incorrect because it doesn't follow the -es rule, echos' is possessive (not plural), and echoses is not a valid English word form.
