1. Bananas - [z]
2. Oranges - [z]
3. Loaves - [z]
4. Bugs - [z]
5. Singers - [z]
6. Jewels - [z]
7. Watches - [z]
8. Taps - [s]
9. Necks - [s]
10. Planes - [z]
11. Foxes - [z]
12. Spoons - [z]
13. Forks - [s]
14. Bears - [z]
15. Houses - [z]
16. Grapes - [s]
17. Beaches - [iz]
18. Banks - [s]
19. Dolls - [z]
20. Shoes - [z]
21. Birches - [iz]

The pronunciation of [s], [z], or [iz] depends on the ending sound of the singular form of the word and whether it's voiced or voiceless.
