Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form an oxime
Pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine
Glucose is oxidised by nitric acid to gluconic acid

Solution
Pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine
Explanation:
The pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine indicating the absence of free –CHO group. This property of glucose can be explained only by its cyclic structure.
