- B.

The firm has ….. than ten employees.
- A.
Fewer
- B.
Less
Correct Answer
A. FewerExplanation
The correct answer is "fewer" because "fewer" is used when referring to countable nouns, such as employees. Since employees can be counted, "fewer" is the appropriate word to use in this sentence. "Less" is used when referring to uncountable nouns, such as water or money.Rate this question:
-
- 12.
The firm is ……successful now that we have only ten employees.
- A.
Fewer
- B.
Less
Correct Answer
B. LessExplanation
The word "less" is the correct answer because it is used to compare quantities that cannot be counted, such as time, money, or abstract concepts. In this sentence, the word "employees" refers to a quantity that can be counted, so the word "fewer" would be incorrect. Instead, "less" should be used to indicate a smaller number of employees.Rate this question:
