Question

complete the sentence with the correct plural.
the election committee planned a formal, elaborate dinner, with the
\b—the lieutenant governor and his wife—at the head table.
guest of honor
submit

Explanation:

To form the plural of "guest of honor", we follow the rule for compound nouns. The main noun "guest" is made plural. So "guest" becomes "guests", resulting in "guests of honor". This is because when a compound noun has a main noun (here, "guest"), we pluralize that main noun. The phrase refers to two people (lieutenant governor and his wife), so we need the plural form.

Answer:

guests of honor
