Question

A few days ago I received a ____ letter from Julie.
A. Ten-page.
B. Five-years.
C. 60 minutes.
D. Two books.

Answer 1

Hint: The above asked the most suitable word which is a suitable verb in the singular form to represent the quantity of something.

Complete answer:
Let us individually analyse the answer to figure out the correct one
Option (A) ‘Ten-page’: is the correct option as it defines the number of pages used to complete the letter written by Julie which was received by him/her a few days ago.
Option (B) ‘Five-years’: is not a correct option as it shows the duration of time in terms of years and the above have already defined time with the help of ‘few days’ which reflects a rough estimate of the time. The above-mentioned about the number of pages in which a letter is written by Julie.
Option (C) ’60 minutes’: is not a correct option as it shows the duration of a letter in which he/she can read it out with ease. Since the above-mentioned is not an audible media it cannot be defined in a time frame of minutes so choosing ’60 minutes’ is not a possibility to choose as an option.
Option (D) ‘Two books’: is definitely not a correct option as it defines the number of books not the number of pages of a letter.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note:Whenever one has to use a verb in the singular form it can be used to define the quantity of something. Since the letter has some length defined in pages so the person has to think about the logical aspect first.
