উত্তরের বিবরণ

img

Original Sentence:

  • Rahim bought few furnitures for the new office.

Issue:

  • “Furniture” is an uncountable noun, so it cannot be pluralized as “furnitures.”

  • Using “few” implies countable, which is incorrect here.

Correct Usage:

  • Rahim bought some furniture for the new office.

  • Or: Rahim bought two pieces of furniture for the new office.

Explanation of Other Options:

  • She doesn't have many friends in the city. → Correct, “many” is used with countable noun “friends.”

  • Don't I have any money left? → Correct, “any” is used with uncountable noun “money.”

  • They found a little hope in the situation. → Correct, “little” is used with uncountable noun “hope.”
