Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The correct answer is the first option.
"The gold" should be replaced with "Gold" as articles never come before a material noun so the article "the" should be removed. "Gold" is correctly used as a noun referring to the precious metal.
Therefore, the correct statement should be: "
Gold
is a precious metal."
