Answer 1

Answer:

B. b

• Use ' fewer ' in the place of less.

The word "less" should be "fewer" because "passengers" is a countable noun. The sentence should be "There are fewer passengers in the compartment."

• മറ്റ് ഉദാഹരണം:  "There is less milk in the bottle"എന്നാണ് ഉപയോഗിക്കുക, കാരണം "milk" ഒരു uncountable noun ആണ്.
  എന്നാൽ "There are fewer people in the room"എന്നാണ് ഉപയോഗിക്കുക, കാരണം  "people" ഒരു countable noun ആണ്.
