B
Correct answer
Explanation
This is a trick question testing careful reading. A dozen always means 12, regardless of what the item is. The phrase 'two cent stamps' is irrelevant - the answer is simply how many items are in a dozen, which is 12. Many students mistakenly calculate 12 divided by 2.
AI explanation
A dozen simply means twelve of something — the value or denomination printed on the item (here, 2 cents) is irrelevant to the count. So a dozen two-cent stamps is 12 stamps, just as a dozen eggs is 12 eggs. The correct answer is 12; 6 is a distractor that wrongly divides 12 by the face value.
