Indicate the alternative that best completes the following sentence: The building has nine stories. It is __________.
Ⓐ a nine-stories-building
Ⓑ a nine-story building
Ⓒ a nine's-story building
Ⓓ a nine-stories
Ⓔ a building's nine stories's
The correct answer is: a nine-story building
When a number + noun is used as a compound adjective before another noun, the noun stays singular and is hyphenated.
-
nine stories → the building has nine stories
-
nine-story building → adjective form
