  • 2. 

    There are ________ cars parked on the streets. 

    • Too many

    • Too much

    Correct Answer
    A. Too many
    Explanation
    The phrase "too many" is used to indicate a large number of countable objects, such as cars. "Too much" is used to describe an excessive amount of uncountable nouns, such as water or sugar. Since the question specifies "cars" as the subject, the correct answer is "too many" to indicate a large number of cars parked on the streets.

    We should have _______ public parking garages. 

    Correct Answer
    more
    Explanation
    The given question is incomplete as it does not provide any context or information about the topic being discussed. However, based on the answer provided, it can be inferred that the question is asking for the quantity or number of public parking garages that should exist. The answer "more" suggests that there is a need for an increased number of public parking garages. This could be due to factors such as population growth, increased vehicle ownership, or a lack of available parking spaces.

    The government needs to build _______ highways. 

    Correct Answer
    more
    Explanation
    The government needs to build more highways in order to improve transportation infrastructure and accommodate the increasing traffic demands. Constructing additional highways will help reduce congestion, enhance connectivity between cities and regions, and promote economic growth. This will provide better accessibility and convenience for both commuters and businesses, ultimately leading to improved efficiency and development in the transportation sector.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    There should be _______ noise

    Correct Answer
    less
    Explanation
    The phrase "There should be less noise" implies that the desired situation is one with a reduced amount of noise. The word "less" is used to compare the current level of noise to a lower, more desirable level.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    There should be ________ cars in the city. 

    Correct Answer
    fewer
    Explanation
    The word "fewer" is the correct answer because it is used to compare quantities of countable objects. In this context, it implies that the number of cars in the city should be reduced or decreased.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    There are_______ police officers. 

    Correct Answer
    not enough
    too few
    too many
    Explanation
    The answer is "not enough, too few, too many" because these options all indicate a quantity of police officers that is insufficient or excessive. "Not enough" implies a shortage, "too few" suggests a smaller number than required, and "too many" indicates an excess of police officers. All three options convey the idea that the current number of police officers is not appropriate or satisfactory.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    There is ________ public transportation. 

    Correct Answer
    not enough
    too little
    enough
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "not enough" or "too little". These options imply that the amount of public transportation available is insufficient or inadequate. On the other hand, the option "enough" suggests that there is a satisfactory amount of public transportation, which contradicts the given statement. Therefore, "not enough" or "too little" are the appropriate choices to indicate a shortage of public transportation.
