From the words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.

All the ________ were stolen by the thieves

Answer Details

The correct answer is B, "arms and ammunition." Explanation: The sentence is referring to a group of items that were stolen by thieves. The items in question are two types of items, specifically "arms" (weapons) and "ammunition" (bullets or other supplies used with the weapons). The correct way to refer to more than one of these items is to use the plural forms of both words, "arms" and "ammunition," which are both present in option B. Option A is incorrect because "arm" is singular and does not match the plural "ammunition." Option C is incorrect because "ammunitions" is not a word in standard English. Option D is incorrect because it uses the plural "arms" correctly but then uses the incorrect "ammunitions" instead of the correct singular "ammunition."
