The sentence needs to add a hyphen to "two thirds" replacing it with "two-thirds," as shown in option B.

Why is the hyphen necessary?

  • The name of fractions must be written with a hyphen.
  • The names of fractions must be written with a hyphen when they assume the role of adjectives or nouns.

The sentences shown in the question use the fraction "two-thirds" as a noun, that is, as a term that is naming something. In that case, writing the name of this fraction without using the hyphen would be incorrect.
