Explanation:

• For each sentence, we need to determine the appropriate plural form of the word from the box based on the context.
• For example, "man" has the plural "men", "city" becomes "cities" (changing -y to -ies), "continent" is "continents" (adding -s), etc.

Answer:

1. cars (assuming it's a typo and should be from the box, but if we follow the instruction strictly, maybe it's a wrong numbering. But if we consider the words in the box, maybe no. Let's check others)
2. women (since Mrs. and Ms. refer to female, and the plural of "man" is "men" but here for female adults, "women" is correct as it's the plural form for female humans in this context)
3. men (Mr. and John (male name) refer to male adults, plural of "man" is "men")
4. songs ("A Hard Day's Night" and "Happy Birthday to You" are song titles, plural of "song" is "songs")
5. cities (London and Cairo are city names, plural of "city" is "cities" ( -y → -ies))
6. rivers (The Nile and the Amazon are river names, plural of "river" is "rivers")
7. continents (Asia and Africa are continent names, plural of "continent" is "continents")
8. states (Florida and Michigan are state names in the US, plural of "state" is "states")
9. countries (Brazil and Kenya are country names, plural of "country" is "countries" (-y → -ies))
10. holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas are holiday names, plural of "holiday" is "holidays")
11. universities (Harvard and Yale are university names, plural of "university" is "universities" (-y → -ies))
12. watches (Seikos and Rolexes are watch brands, plural of "watch" is "watches" ( -ch → -es))
