Identify the correct sentence. Question 40 options: a) The mother took her three-year-old daughter to the zoo to see the monkeys
. b) The mother took her three year old daughter to the zoo to see the monkeys. c) The little girl was only three-years-old when she saw the monkeys at the zoo. d) The little girl was only three-years old when she saw the monkeys at the zoo.
b) The mother took her three year old daughter to the zoo to see the monkeys.
Explanation:
In the above options provided, it is evident that the child was taken by her mother to the zoo. But the sentence framing of option (a) is wrong in that the way "three-year-old" is written with the hyphen is not needed. The other two options (c) and (d) are also wrong as it just mentions the child seeing the monkeys, with another use of the hyphen "three-year-old" or "three-years" where it is not necessary. So, that leaves us option (b) as the correct sentence.
