In the question below, fill the gap with the most appropriate option:
The carpenter asked for ten packets of .... nails
When using compound adjectives (adjective phrases describing a noun), the correct structure is:
Number + singular measurement + noun
"fifteen-centimetre nails" is correct because "fifteen-centimetre" acts as a compound adjective modifying "nails".
In compound adjectives, the measurement unit remains singular (e.g., "a five-kilometre race", "a ten-dollar bill").
