Question

) If there is a combination of single-digit numerals and all other numerals in the same sentence (For example, "I have 1 pen and
15 pencils"), how will you transcribe it?
a) I have one pen and fifteen pencils.
b) I have 1 pen and fifteen pencils.
c) I have 1 pen and 15 pencils (this way improves readability since 1 and 15 are on the same line).
d) I have one pen and 15 pencils.

Answer 1

Option A and option C are correct.

Explanation:

• When describing the quantity of something, one pattern should be followed.
• Either write them in the sentence using the number with spellings like one, two, three as in option A.
• Or use the numbers to describe the quantity of the items such as 1,2,3 as in option C.
• Option C is more suitable as numbers 1,2,3 add to the readability and understanding.
