सही! बिलकुल नहीं। सही जवाब: De serverte kaken på et vakkert fat.

'De serverte kaken på et vakkert fat' means 'They served the cake on a beautiful platter,' which is the correct usage. The other options misuse 'fat' in contexts where 'glass,' 'stol,' or 'hylle' would be more appropriate.

true false C2

A 'fat' can be used interchangeably with 'tallerken' (plate) for individual servings.

true false C2

If you see 'et fat med ost' on a menu, it implies a single slice of cheese.
