Answer:

The correct answer is C) "She filled her living room with dozens of tulips"

Step-by-step explanation:

Words such as dozen, hundred or thousand take the singular form if they are preceded by a number. Therefore, options A and D are incorrect since they are in the plural form (five dozens, seven thousands).

Option B is also incorrect as the word "hundred" is not preceeded by a number so it should take the plural form. (needed hundred of quilt)

The only option that follows the rule is C) since "dozens" is not preceeded by a number and is followed by "of". So the expression "dozens of tulips" is correct.
