Question
Fill the gap with the most appropriate option from the list provided.The new school is not provided with _______ for science practicals.
Options
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
This is a fill-in-the-blank question. The sentence says "The new school is not provided with _______ for science practicals." You need to choose the correct word to fill in the blank from the options given. The options are: A) an equipment, B) enough equipment (which is the correct answer), C) equipments, or D) enough equipments.
The sentence is talking about science practicals, which means experiments or hands-on activities done in science class. The sentence is saying that the new school does not have enough of something for science practicals. You need to choose the correct option that fills in the blank correctly.
Option A says "an equipment," but "equipment" is a non-count noun, which means you can't use "an" with it. Option C says "equipments," but "equipment" is already plural and doesn't need an "s" at the end. Option D says "enough equipments," but "enough" is an adjective that doesn't need a plural noun after it. Therefore, the correct option is B, which says "enough equipment." This means that the new school needs more equipment for science practicals.

In English, the word "equipment" is an uncountable noun. This means it does not have a plural form and we don't typically use it with an indefinite article ("a" or "an"). We refer to "equipment" as a collective term, meaning all the machines, tools, devices, etc., used for a particular purpose.
Given the options:
A) "an equipment" is incorrect because we don't use the indefinite article with uncountable nouns.
B) "enough equipment" is correct. It means a sufficient amount or number of machines, tools, devices, etc.
C) "equipments" is incorrect because "equipment" doesn't have a plural form.
D) "enough equipments" is incorrect for the same reason as C.
Thus, option B ("enough equipment") is the most grammatically accurate and contextually appropriate choice for the sentence.
Equipment is an uncountable noun and therefore should not be pluralised
Equipment is never pluralized
