Question

Tap the sentence that uses the noun 'iron' both as a countable noun and an uncountable noun.

• A. She brought her iron, and asked me to iron her clothes.
• B. This clothing iron's plate is made of pure iron.
• C. Iron is used to make many tools and utensils.
• D. You should eat vegetables that are rich in iron.

Answer 1

The correct option is B This clothing iron's plate is made of pure iron.

Here, the sentence uses the noun 'iron' twice. In the first instance, it uses 'iron' as a countable noun to refer to the clothing iron, which can be counted. In the second instance, the sentence uses 'iron' as an uncountable noun to refer to the material of iron, which cannot be counted.
