The words for which 'drops of' can be used are: milk, water, juice, oil. These are all liquids, and 'drops of' is used with liquids. The words bread, carrot, salt, rice, and cotton are solids and cannot be used with 'drops of'.
Explanation
This vocabulary exercise teaches children about collective nouns and quantifiers. The word 'drops' is specifically used with liquids because liquids flow and can form drops. In the given list: bread (solid), carrot (solid), milk (liquid), salt (solid granules), rice (solid), water (liquid), juice (liquid), cotton (solid), oil (liquid). Children learn to identify liquids and understand that 'drops of' is appropriate only for liquids like milk, water, juice, and oil.
