@Humaira

You are right, Thanks.

Option A should be right as there is an error in A, not B.

Of is used only for nouns, so twice of twelve is wrong. Twice twelve of twenty-four is right, according to a subject-verb agreement (twice is plural and "make" is also plural).

You are right @Ritesh.

But here there is no conjunction. Twice of twelve makes twenty four is correct.

Please explain.

Ritesh said:   8 years ago
Two and two makes four. Is it right?

Vivek sharma said:   9 years ago
By reading the comments of others majority goes to twice of twelve so is it right?

SUJIT Gupta said:   9 years ago
Twice of twelve. Seems to be fine.

Ayushi said:   9 years ago
Answer is right because after definite numeral adjective -noun will be always singular.

Here twice twelve is plural. Twelve is taken two times (two twelve) and make is correct. Twice of twelve indicates a unit operation and use of makes is correct.
