Answer:

<u>TRUE</u>

Explanation:

We form the plural of nouns that end with a consonant + “y” by changing the “y” to “i” and adding “-es:” For example, <em>city - cities, lady - ladies, activity - activities</em>. The only exception is when creating the plural of proper nouns ending in consonant + “y” such as <em>Kennedy, </em>whose plural is<em> Kennedys</em>.

On the other hand, when a noun ends with a vowel + “y”, we form its plural adding an “s” only. For example, <em>monkey - monkeys, boy - boys, valley - valleys.</em>

svetoff [14.1K]
It might be stated that Mill employed a combination of formal and informal tone in "On liberty..", by developing some complex ideas, meanings and expressions. The author used metaphors and figurative languages to appeal to the audience. It might be added that Mill wrote those who agreed with him and he discussed his thesis by attacking the conservatives. 
He used frases such as <span> "no one's idea," "no one should assert," "it would be absurd," "nobody denies" . </span>
