Which sentence correctly uses no article before an uncountable material noun in a general sense?

AA gold is a precious metal.
BGold is a precious metal.
CThe gold is a precious metal.
DAn gold is a precious metal.

Explanation

Uncountable nouns referring to materials or substances, such as ‘gold,’ ‘water,’ or ‘iron,’ take no article when used in a general sense to describe the substance as a whole, giving ‘Gold is a precious metal.’ An article would only be added if referring to a specific portion or type of the material, such as ‘the gold in this ring.’ Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
