    Question

    This room contains ten furnitures.

    A.

    ten piece of furniture

    B.

    ten pieces of furniture

    C.

    ten furniture

    D.

    no improvement

    Correct option is B

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) ten pieces of furniture.
    Explanation: The noun “furniture” is an uncountable noun and does not take a plural form. To indicate number, we use quantifying expressions like "pieces of furniture."
    Grammatical rule used:
    �� Uncountable nouns cannot be made plural. Use quantifiers like “piece of,” “a bit of,” etc.
    Example: We bought two pieces of luggage.
    �� Information Booster: Other examples of uncountable nouns: advice, equipment, information.
