🌟 Explanation:
This exercise teaches that
uncountable nouns are substances or concepts that cannot be counted individually (e.g., you don’t say “a piece of milk” — but you *can* say “a glass of milk”). These nouns often go with
quantifiers like:
- a piece of (advice, bread)
- a cup/glass of (tea, milk)
- a bar of (chocolate)
- a jar of (jam)
- a pinch of (salt)
- a barrel of (oil)
Each blank uses a quantifier that matches the typical way we refer to the noun.
