  1. Question 1

    Q1. Which sentence correctly uses "fewer" versus "less"?

    • A) We need fewer sugar in the samples.
    • B) We need less sugar in the samples.
    • C) We need less samples than last week.
    • D) We need fewer time to finish.

    Answer: We need less sugar in the samples.

    Explanation: "Fewer" is used with countable nouns (fewer samples, fewer questions) and "less" with uncountable nouns; "sugar" is uncountable, so "less sugar" is the grammatically correct choice.
