Fill in the blank with the correct form of the word given in brackets:
According to the latest figures, more than six ______ people travel on the Mumbai local trains every day. (million)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → million
Number word after another number:
When a number such as six comes before it, million takes no -s. It goes straight before the noun. So six + million → six million people. “Millions of” is used only when no number comes before it, as in “millions of people”.
Complete sentence: According to the latest figures, more than six million people travel on the Mumbai local trains every day.
