Answer:
1. D
By reading the sentence, we can see that the noun used is a pencil. To be able to identify the correct measure word “量词 (liàng cí)” that’s used with a pencil in the Chinese language, we’ll first refer to the list of measure words. D is the correct answer because the measure word “支 (zhī)” is the specific measure word related to a stick or long, thin object, mostly used for writing. Such as pencils or pens.
