Question
complete the sentence with the correct plural.
district attorney
as elected officials working with law enforcement, represent the
government and the people in criminal proceedings by prosecuting people accused of
criminal activities.
To form the plural of "district attorney", we follow the rule for compound nouns. For compound nouns with two or more words, we usually make the last word plural if the noun refers to a person or thing that can be pluralized. Here, "district attorney" is a compound noun, and we pluralize "attorney" to "attorneys" while keeping "district" as it is (since "district" is an attributive noun here, modifying "attorneys"). So the plural form is "district attorneys".
