1.two is enough= 'T and one O' and 'T double O' is enough?

2.and why not: two are enough?

many thanks

[Mister Micawber]

1- No. T and W and O.
2-- That is possible, but 'a sufficient quantity' indicates that the writer is thinking of one amount and not two items.

thanks, but what does 'two is enough' concern if 'two' means the number 2 and not:'T and one O' and 'T double O'? because I don't see the connection with previous- the 9th sentence in this test.

[Mister Micawber]

'Two [words] is enough.' In the previous sentence, the teacher offered the student two words (too and to) and then a third word, but in #10, the student exclaims that two words is enough for him to deal with – he doesn't want the third word.

I just though the same as you and by ' two words (is enough)' I meant: to and too= 'T and one O' and 'T double O' , so I think I was right?
thanks

[Mister Micawber]

OK. I just didn't understand your post, then.
