question 3 of 10
how do you know that the following phrase indicates that there is more than
one mouse?
des souris blanches

a. the article des is plural.

b. the adjective blanches has an -s.

c. because of the article des and the -s at the end of blanche.

d. the word souris has an -s.

Explanation:

In French, plural nouns are marked with an -s, and the partitive article "des" is the plural form of "un/une" (singular indefinite articles). Additionally, adjectives agree in number with the nouns they modify, so "blanches" (plural feminine) matches the plural noun "souris". All these elements together signal plurality.

Answer:

C. Because of the article des and the -s at the end of blanche.
