Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
A: Have you got any apples?
B: Yes. I've got ______________.

• A. a small
• B. one small
• C. two
• D. two small

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

two

Option C: 'Two' is generally a number adjective that modifies the quantity of a noun 'two apples', 'two girls'. Sometimes, adjectives can function as nouns, mostly when the noun has been mentioned before like in this case. Hence, 'two' refers to 'two apples' here. This makes option C correct.

Options A, B and D: 'A small', 'one small' and 'two small' are phrases that are left incomplete in meaning. This is because the adjectives 'one' and 'two' (along with the article 'a') are further followed by the adjective 'small'. Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
