5491. Choose the best option:

• A. My mother's-in-law recipe for meatloaf is my husband's favorite.
• B. My mother-in-law recipe for meatloaf is my husband's favorite.
• C. My mother-in-law's recipe for meatloaf is my husband's favorite.
• D. My mother-in-law recipe for meatloaf is my husband favorite.

Explanation: "Mother-in-law" is a possessive compound noun, so it needs an apostrophe to show ownership (i.e., the recipe belongs to my mother-in-law). "Husband's" also needs an apostrophe to show possession (i.e., favorite dish belongs to my husband).

5492. Choose the best option:

• A. Workers at the factory wear protective clothings.
• B. Workers at the factory wear protective clothe.
• C. Workers at the factory wear protective clothing.
• D. Workers at the factory wear protective cloth.

Explanation: "Clothing" is an uncountable noun, which means it refers to a general category of items (in this case, protective gear) rather than a specific item. The correct phrase is "protective clothing," which refers to the overall category of protective gear worn by workers.

5493. Choose the best option:

• A. Your hairs are black, but I see two blonde hair on your jacket.
• B. Your hair is black, but I see two blonde hair on your's jacket.
• C. Your hair are black, but I see two blonde hairs on your jacket.
• D. Your hair is black, but I see two blonde hairs on your jacket.

Explanation: "Hair" is an uncountable noun when referring to the hair on one's head, so it should be treated as a singular noun ("Your hair is..."). However, when referring to individual strands of hair, "hairs" becomes a countable noun ("two blonde hairs"). "Your" is the correct possessive adjective to use.

5494. Choose the best option:

• A. I asked them to leave their luggage in the hotel room.
• B. I asked them to leave their luggages in the hotel room.
• C. I asked them to leave one's luggage in the hotel's room.
• D. I asked them to leave their luggages in the room of the hotel.

Explanation: "Luggage" is an uncountable noun, which means it refers to a general category of items (in this case, suitcases, bags, etc.) rather than a specific item. So, it is a singular noun ("their luggage"). "Hotel room" is the correct phrase to use here.

5495. Choose the best option:

• A. We were at ten miles distance from home and very tired.
• B. We were at ten mile distance from home and very tired.
• C. We were at ten mile distances from home and very tired.
• D. We were at ten miles distances from home and very tired.

Explanation: "Miles" is used to describe the distance, and "distance" is singular because it refers to a specific measurement.

5496. Choose the best option:

• A. I like to have bath before I go to bed.
• B. I like to get bath before I go to bed.
• C. I like to have a bath before I go to bed.
• D. I like to have a bathing before I go to bed.

Explanation: "Have a bath" is a common idiomatic expression that means to take a bath or soak in a bathtub. Adding the indefinite article "a" before "bath" indicates that it's a single instance or routine.

5497. Choose the best option:

• A. I bought three dozen oranges.
• B. I bought three dozens oranges.
• C. I bought three dozen orange.
• D. I built three dozen oranges.

Explanation: In this case, "three dozen" is a fixed expression that means 36 (3 x 12), and "oranges" is the plural noun that follows.

5498. Choose the best option:

• A. I'd strongly advice against making a sudden decision.
• B. I'd strongly give you many advices against making a sudden decision.
• C. I'd strongly advise against making a sudden decision.
• D. I'd strongly give many advises against making a sudden decision.

Explanation: The correct verb is advise, not advice. "Advice" is a noun, while "advise" is the verb used here.

5499. The town gets ........... visitors in the summer.

• A. Many
• B. Little
• C. Much
• D. A bit of

Explanation: "Many" is used with countable nouns like "visitors." Other options are incorrect because "much" is for uncountable nouns, and "a bit of" is for small amounts.

5500. A terrible earthquake hit the city, but luckily, .............. people got wounded.

• A. Little
• B. Any
• C. A few
• D. Few

Explanation: The sentence says "but luckily," which means the number of wounded people was small (a positive outcome). "Few people got wounded" means almost none, which fits with "luckily."
