4. A is correct.
B is incorrect - the plural of bacterium is bacteria, not bacterias.
C is incorrect - 'no's' is an incorrect usage of the apostrophe
D is incorrect - 'knows-it-all' should be 'know-it-alls', also 'parenthesis' should be 'parentheses'
--------------------
A is correct
B is incorrect - the plural of 'soprano' is 'sopranos', not 'sopranoes'
C is incorrect - 'wifes' should be 'wives'
D is incorrect - it should be 'alumni' not 'alumneses', and I'm pretty sure that 'basises' is incorrect too (the plural of 'basis' is 'bases')
-------------------
23) I'm a little unsure on this one - I think it's B, but it could be A.
C is incorrect - 'deges' is not a valid abbreviation for 'degrees'
D is incorrect - misuse of the apostrophe
