    • Any

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    How _______ oranges are on the table?

    • Many

    • A few

    • Much

    Correct Answer
    A. Many
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "many" because "many" is used to describe countable nouns, such as oranges. It indicates a large number or quantity of oranges on the table.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    There isn’t _____ water in the glass.

    • Some

    • Any

    Correct Answer
    A. Any
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "any" because it is used in negative sentences to indicate the absence of something. In this case, it suggests that there is no water in the glass. The word "some" is not appropriate in this context because it implies the presence of an unspecified amount of water.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    How _______ money has Fred got?

    • Many

    • Little

    • Much

    Correct Answer
    A. Much
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "much". This is because "much" is used to refer to a large quantity or amount of something, in this case, money. The word "many" is used for countable nouns, while "little" is used for a small quantity or amount. Therefore, "much" is the appropriate word to use when asking about the amount of money Fred has.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Do you need _______help?

    • Many

    • Any

    Correct Answer
    A. Any
    Explanation
    The word "any" is the correct answer because it is used to ask if the person needs help in general, without specifying a particular type or amount of help. "Some" would imply a specific amount or type of help, which is not appropriate in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    There are _______ monkeys at the zoo.

    • Much

    • A few

    • A little

    Correct Answer
    A. A few
    Explanation
    The phrase "a few" is used to indicate a small number of something. In this context, it suggests that there are a small number of monkeys at the zoo. The word "much" is used to refer to a large quantity, so it does not fit the context of the sentence. Similarly, "a little" is used to refer to a small amount of something, not a small number of monkeys. Therefore, the correct answer is "a few."

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    There are ________apples on the plate. Take one.

    • A few

    • A lot

    • A little

    Correct Answer
    A. A few
    Explanation
    The phrase "a few" indicates a small number of apples on the plate. It implies that there are more than one or two apples, but not a large quantity. Therefore, the speaker is suggesting to take one apple from the small number available.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Have got _______ friends?

    • Much

    • Many

    • A lot of

    Correct Answer
    A. Many
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "many". This is because "many" is used to describe countable nouns, such as friends. In this case, we are asking about the number of friends someone has, so "many" is the appropriate word to use. "Much" is used for uncountable nouns, and "a lot of" can be used for both countable and uncountable nouns, but "many" is the most specific and suitable choice in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    I eat______ meat. I prefer fish.

    • Very few

    • A few

    • A little

    Correct Answer
    A. A little
    Explanation
    The phrase "I eat a little meat" indicates that the person consumes a small amount of meat. This aligns with their preference for fish, suggesting that they do not eat a large quantity of meat overall.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    There are ________ of shops and restaurants in our district.

    • A few

    • A lot of

    • Many

    Correct Answer
    A. A lot of
    Explanation
    The phrase "a lot of" indicates a large number or quantity. Therefore, the correct answer suggests that there are a large number of shops and restaurants in the district.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    There is ______ milk in the fridge. Can you buy some?  

    • A few

    • A little

    • Little

    Correct Answer
    A. Little
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "little". This is because "little" is used to refer to an amount of something that is small or not enough. In this context, it implies that there is not much milk in the fridge, and the speaker is asking someone to buy some more. The other options, "a few" and "a little", imply that there is some milk available, but not necessarily a small amount.
