    • Many

    • A lot

    • Any

    Correct Answer

    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.

    Rate this question:

    • A lot

    • Many

    • Much

    • A little

    Correct Answer
    A. A lot
    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.

    • A lot

    • A few

    • A little

    • Many

    Correct Answer
    A. A lot
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

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

    • Lots

    • A little

    • Much

    • A few

    Correct Answer
    A. Lots
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Alice doesn't have  ......... pets.

    • Many

    • Much

    • A lot

    • Plenty

    Correct Answer
    A. Many
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

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

    • A lot

    • A few

    • A litte

    • Many

    Correct Answer
    A. A lot
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Are there  ......... campsites near you?

    • Many

    • Much

    • Lots

    • A lot

    Correct Answer
    A. Many
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

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

    • Many

    • Much

    • A little

    • A few

    Correct Answer
    A. Many
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

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

    • Many

    • A lot

    • Much

    • A little

    Correct Answer
    A. Many
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

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

    • Many

    • Much

    • A lot

    • Lots

    Correct Answer
    A. Many
    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. 

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

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

    • Much

    • Many

    • A few

    • A lot

    Correct Answer
    A. Much
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    John had heard  ......... stories about her.

    • Many

    • Much

    • A lot

    • A little

    Correct Answer
    A. Many
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

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

    • A lot

    • Many

    • Much

    • A few

    Correct Answer
    A. A lot
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Have you eaten  ......... of chocolates?

    • Lots

    • Many

    • Much

    • A few

    Correct Answer
    A. Lots
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

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

    • A little

    • A few

    • Many

    • Much

    Correct Answer
    A. A little
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

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

    • Any

    • A few

    • A little

    • Many

    Correct Answer
    A. Any
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

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

    • Plenty

    • A few

    • A little

    • Much

    Correct Answer
    A. Plenty
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

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

    • A few

    • A little

    • Lots

    • A lot

    Correct Answer
    A. A few
    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.
