2. I went shopping on Black Friday and spent  ......... of money. I filled up my whole shopping cart! 

Explanation

The phrase "a lot" indicates a large amount of money was spent while shopping on Black Friday. This suggests that the person spent a significant sum of money during their shopping trip.

Submit
3. How ......... money do you have?

Explanation

The question is asking about the amount of money someone has. The word "much" is the correct answer because it is used to ask about the quantity of something that cannot be counted.

Submit
4. I have  ......... of memories from this summer.

Explanation

The phrase "a lot" is the correct answer because it accurately completes the sentence and conveys the idea that the speaker has a large quantity or a significant number of memories from the summer. The other options do not fit grammatically or semantically in the context of the sentence.

Submit
5. Hurry up! We've got  ......... of things to do!

Explanation

The phrase "Hurry up! We've got lots of things to do!" suggests that there are a large number of tasks or activities that need to be completed quickly. The word "lots" is used to indicate a significant quantity, emphasizing the urgency and importance of completing the tasks.

Submit
6.  Leslie has  ......... of candy; she is going to get a cavity if she eats it all!

Explanation

 The phrase "a lot" indicates a large quantity or number. In this context, it means that Leslie has a large quantity of candy. The line “is going to get a cavity” suggests Leslie has a large amount.

Submit
7. There is  ......... of concern about underage drinking in our country.

Explanation

The correct quantifier is "a lot," which is used with uncountable nouns like "concern" to indicate a large amount. In this context, "a lot of concern" appropriately conveys that there is significant concern about underage drinking in the country. "A few" and "few" are used with countable nouns, while "many" is used with plural countable nouns, making them incorrect in this sentence.

Submit
8. Alice doesn't have  ......... pets.

Explanation

Alice doesn't have many pets. This means that she has a small number of pets or possibly none at all. The word "many" indicates a large quantity, so if Alice doesn't have many pets, it implies that she has few or no pets.

Submit
9. Are there  ......... campsites near you?

Explanation

The question is asking if there are multiple campsites near the person being addressed. The word "many" accurately conveys the idea of a large number of campsites, indicating that there are numerous options available.

Submit
10. In Spain, there aren't  ......... penguins.

Explanation

The correct answer is "many" because penguins are not typically found in Spain. "Many" indicates a large quantity or number, suggesting that there are no penguins in Spain, as opposed to "a little" or "a few" which imply a small quantity. "Much" is used for uncountable nouns, and since penguins can be counted, it is not the appropriate choice.

Submit
11. Do you think  ......... people will come to the party?

Explanation

The correct answer is "many" because the question is asking about the number of people who will come to the party. "Many" is the appropriate word to use when referring to a large number of people, as it matches grammatically with the rest of the sentence. 

Submit
12. It was pouring with rain, but there wasn't  ......... wind.

Explanation

The correct answer is "much" because the phrase "pouring with rain" suggests a heavy amount of rain, but there is no mention of wind. "Much" is used to describe a large quantity or degree of something, which fits the context of the sentence.

Submit
13. John had heard  ......... stories about her.

Explanation

John had heard many stories about her. This implies that John has heard a large number of stories about her, indicating that there have been numerous tales circulating about her.

Submit
14. Jordan and Taylor have as  ......... sisters as I do.

Explanation

The word "many" is used to compare a countable noun (sisters in this case) between two or more individuals or groups. The other options, "a lot of" and "more," while indicating quantity, are not grammatically correct in this comparative sentence structure.

Submit
15. We didn't bring anything to eat but, fortunately, we have got  ......... of food from yesterday.

Explanation

Fortunately, we have a lot of food from yesterday, which means we have a large quantity of food. This implies that even though we didn't bring anything to eat, we have enough food to satisfy our hunger.

Submit
16. Have you eaten  ......... of chocolates?

Explanation

The correct answer is "lots" because it is used to describe a large quantity of something. In this case, it is asking if the person has eaten a large quantity of chocolates. The other options, "many," "much," and "a few," do not convey the same meaning of a large quantity and do not make sense grammatically with the rest of the sentence.

Submit
17. Can I add  ......... salt, please? It's very bland.

Explanation

The phrase "a little" is the correct answer because it is used to modify uncountable nouns, such as "salt." In this context, the speaker is asking for a small amount of salt to enhance the flavor of the food, indicating that it is bland. The other options, "a few," "many," and "much," are not appropriate in this context as they are used with countable nouns or to describe a large quantity, which is not what the speaker is requesting.

Submit
18. I haven't got  ......... change. Sorry!

Explanation

In this sentence, "any" is the correct choice because it is used in negative statements to indicate a lack of something. "I haven't got any change" means that you do not have any amount of change at all. "A few" and "a little" imply having at least some, which contradicts the negative statement. "Many" is used for countable nouns, while "change" in this context is uncountable, making "any" the right word.

Submit
19. I have  ......... of time. No need to rush.

Explanation

The phrase "No need to rush" indicates that the speaker has a lot of time. The word "plenty" means an abundant or sufficient amount, so the correct answer suggests that the speaker has enough time and does not want to be hurried.

Submit
20.  I have  ......... books to check out at the library.

Explanation

The correct answer is "a few". This is because "a few" indicates a small number of exams, which implies that the person has a manageable amount of books to check. The other options, such as "a little," "lots," and "a lot," suggest a larger quantity and do not grammatically align with the rest of the statement.
