Which quantity is described as much less than a kilo?

Kilo means 1000 grams, so to judge “much less than a kilo” you compare each quantity to 1000 g. 12 ounces is about 340 g, which is roughly a third of a kilogram—clearly much smaller than a kilo. The other options aren’t as far below: 2 pounds is about 907 g, which is nearly a kilogram; 1 kilogram is exactly a kilo; 500 g is half a kilo. Among these, the 12-ounce option stands out as the most noticeably smaller amount.
