The noun form of the verb "ausdrücken" is which word?

• A. Expression
• B. Expressive
• C. Express
• D. Expressing

Answer: (A)

Think about how English turns a verb into a noun that names the act. The verb übersetzungs idea here is to express, meaning to convey thoughts or feelings. The noun that names that act is expression. It’s the word you use when you talk about the act or result of conveying something, like “the expression of gratitude.”

The other forms don’t fit as the noun for the act: expressive is an adjective describing something that conveys emotion; expressing is the -ing form of the verb (a gerund/participle), not the noun that names the act; express is the base verb. So the best fit for the noun form is expression.
