    Answer;

    1-stories

    3 - plastic

    Explanation:

    1. The plural of the noun story is stories. This is due to an English rule: the words ending in y carry an ies plural. The y turns into i and an e is placed between the i and the s.

    3 - Plastic is uncountable, which means that it cannot be pluralised with an s but with a partitive: we can say a piece of plastic or two pieces of plastic. What gets pluralised is the partitive but not the uncountable word plastic.
