Question

Identify the uncountable noun in the given sentence:
We bought two hundred grams of gold and some ornaments for the wedding.

• A. We
• B. gold
• C. ornaments
• D. wedding

Answer 1

The correct option is B gold

Countable nouns are those nouns which can be counted. Uncountable nouns are usually abstract ideas/ qualities/ physical objects which are not countable due to their form.

Option A: The word "We" is a pronoun, not a noun.

Option B: The word "gold" is a concrete noun. While its weight can be measured in terms of grams, due to its physical properties, it is uncountable. Hence, this is an uncountable noun.

Options C and D i.e 'ornaments" and "wedding' are both countable nouns.

Tip : Countable nouns can be expressed in both singular and plural form. Whereas uncountable nouns do not have plural forms.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
