I don't like the weather in Ireland. There is …................... rain there.
-
Enough
-
Too much

Too many
Correct Answer
A. Too muchExplanation
The correct answer is "too much" because the sentence states that the person does not like the weather in Ireland, suggesting that there is an excessive amount of rain. "Enough" would imply that there is a satisfactory amount of rain, which contradicts the person's dislike for the weather. "Too many" would be used to describe a countable noun, such as "too many rainy days," but since rain is not countable, it is not the appropriate choice.Rate this question:
