The answer to the previous #quiz was quite logical.
📋 Is it ... that an apple a day keep a doctor away?
🔴 truth
🔵 true ✅
And the reason is that "truth" is a noun while "true" an adjective. This is a fundamental pattern: SUBJECT + TO BE + QUALITY of the subject; and the latter, i.e. quality, is expressed through adjectives which act like "modifiers" of nouns and pronouns giving them certain qualities.
It would be possible to use the noun here, but we'd certainly need an article since nouns are usually (although not 100% always) must have some "definer" before them. So the sentence could sound like "Is it the truth that an apple a day keeps a doctor away?" That would sound somewhat strange, though.
=== === === ===
💡 Read the sentence and choose the proper/logical expression to fill the gap.
📋 You can encourage constructive attitudes in people most effectively by example and reward, and by always ... their good conduct and positive contributions.
