Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct answer: jewellery
Explanation: "jewellery" is an uncountable (mass) noun used to refer to items collectively. Uncountable nouns do not take a plural form, which is why "jewellery" fits the sentence.
jewelleries — not a standard plural; jewellery is uncountable. To count items say "pieces of jewellery."
jeweller — means a person who makes or sells jewellery, not the items.
jewellers — plural of jeweller (people or shops), not the goods.
Correct sentence: Thieves broke the shop window and carried off jewellery worth thousands of pounds.
