I need three ___ of yogurt from the dairy section.
- A.
Tubes
- B.
Pounds
- C.
Containers
- D.
Dozens
Correct Answer
C. ContainersExplanation
The word "containers" is the correct answer because it is the most appropriate term to describe the packaging or receptacles in which yogurt is typically sold. "Tubes" may refer to a different type of packaging, such as for toothpaste or cosmetics. "Pounds" is a unit of weight and not a suitable term for yogurt packaging. "Dozens" is a unit of quantity and does not accurately describe yogurt packaging either. Therefore, "containers" is the most fitting option.Rate this question:

If you want coffee with breakfast, you should buy a ___ of coffee tonight.
- A.
Gallon
- B.
Pack
- C.
Cup
- D.
Quart
Correct Answer
B. PackExplanation
If you want coffee with breakfast, buying a pack of coffee tonight would be the most suitable option. A pack of coffee typically contains multiple servings or portions, making it convenient for daily consumption. A gallon of coffee would be excessive for a single breakfast, while a cup would not be enough for multiple servings. A quart is also a larger quantity than necessary for a single breakfast. Therefore, buying a pack of coffee ensures an adequate supply for multiple mornings.Rate this question:

Go get a ___ of bananas in the produce section at the front of the store.
- A.
Head
- B.
Dozen
- C.
Bunch
- D.
Pint
Correct Answer
C. BunchExplanation
The word "bunch" is the correct answer because it is commonly used to refer to a group or cluster of bananas. It implies that there are multiple bananas together, which is typically how they are sold in stores. A "head" is not the appropriate term for bananas, as it is more commonly used to refer to a part of the body. A "dozen" refers to a group of twelve, which may not accurately describe the quantity of bananas desired. A "pint" is a unit of measurement for liquids and would not be used to describe a quantity of bananas.Rate this question:
