In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase which best fills the gap:
He decided to wait for the bus because he had ______________
He decided to wait for the bus because he had ______________
too many luggage
many luggages
a lot of luggage
plenty luggages
Forklaring
The correct answer to the question is C. a lot of luggage. The word “luggage” is an uncountable noun, so it does not take the plural form “luggages” Instead, we use the phrase “a lot of” to describe an indefinite quantity of uncountable nouns. Therefore, the correct sentence is “He decided to wait for the bus because he had a lot of luggage.”
