According to the grammar rule regarding numbers, when a compound number is written out, or a fraction is used as an adjective, these should be written using a hyphen between its components. In this case, our support is the latter as <em>one-third</em> is a fraction and not a compound number.

Therefore, your best answer is option C.

Knowing when to use "less" and "fewer" is often something people find difficult. Which of the following sentences IS WRONG?
aliina [53]
I would say the correct answer is <span>C. There's less apples in the garden today. The difference between "less" and "fewer" is very simple: less is used for uncountable nouns (the ones that can't be counted, e.g. you can't count love, hate, salt, etc.) and fewer for countable (such as apples). So, the correct version of this sentence would be: There are fewer apples in the garden today. </span>

expeople1 [14]
Changing pitch allows one to:
ask a question (raised pitch at the end)
end a sentence (usually a downward shift of pitch)
to give extra meaning to what is said (by emphasizing certain parts)
to show emotion
to add variety to speaking/conversations

It does not help:
write a short story
to analyze a sentence
to show whether you are using a noun or verb (unless the word happens to have different pronunciations, maybe)
to make the meaning of a sentence clear
