Which sentence contains a quantifier error under the standard rule for single measurements?

  1. The parcel weighs less than five kilograms.
  2. The repair took less than two hours.
  3. The rope is fewer than three metres long.Ճիշտ պատասխան
  4. The ticket costs less than ten dollars.

Բացատրություն

The rope sentence wrongly treats a single measured length as a count of separate items. Standard usage applies the mass-quantity form before a numerical measurement, as the other sentences do for weight, duration and price.
