In which of the following statements, number 'three' is used in ordinal sense ?
Answer: A
'Three' is used in the ordinal sense in I live on the third floor of this building.
An ordinal number tells position or order in a sequence: first, second, third. 'Third floor' says which floor in order, not how many floors there are.
In the other sentences three is a cardinal number, telling how many: three rooms, three team members, sets of three pencils. Each answers 'how many?', not 'which one in order?'.
