Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is D. No error.
The sentence “Twice twelve makes twenty-four” is grammatically correct. The word “twice” is
used to indicate that the number 12 is multiplied by 2. The word “makes” is used to indicate that the result of the multiplication is 24. The word “twenty-four” is the correct answer to the question “What is twice twelve?”The other options are incorrect. Option A, “Twice twelve,” is a fragment.
It does not express a complete thought. Option B, “makes,” is a verb that does not agree with the subject of the sentence. The subject of the sentence is “twice twelve,” which is a singular noun. The verb “makes” is plural. Option C, “twenty-four,” is a noun that does not make sense in the context of the sentence. The sentence is asking for the answer to the question “What is twice twelve?” The answer to that question is 24, not twenty-four.
