    • Too many

    • Too much

    Correct Answer
    A. Too many
    Explanation

    There are ......................... books in this shop. I don't know what to choose !

    • Too many

    • Too much

    Correct Answer
    A. Too many
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "too many". The phrase "too many" is used to describe a large number of countable nouns, such as books in this case. It implies that there is an excessive amount of books in the shop, making it difficult for the speaker to make a decision on what to choose. On the other hand, "too much" is used to describe an excessive amount of uncountable nouns, such as water or sugar.

  • 4. 

    There is ......................... snow. I can't go to school !

    • Too many

    • Too much

    Correct Answer
    A. Too much
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "too much". The phrase "too much" is used to describe an excessive amount of something that cannot be counted. In this case, the speaker is referring to an excessive amount of snow, which is why they are unable to go to school. The phrase "too many" is used when referring to a countable noun, such as "too many books" or "too many cars". However, since snow is not countable, "too much" is the appropriate phrase to use in this context.

    • Too many

    • Too much

    Correct Answer
    A. Too much
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "too much". In this sentence, we are talking about the amount of noise, so we need to use the adverb "too much" to modify the noun "noise". "Too many" is used for countable nouns, while "too much" is used for uncountable nouns like noise.

    • Too many

    • Too much

    Correct Answer
    A. Too many
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "too many". This is because the sentence is referring to the number of questions being asked, which is a countable noun. Therefore, we use "too many" to indicate an excessive or overwhelming amount of questions. "Too much" is used for uncountable nouns, such as "too much water" or "too much information".

    I've got ............................... problems.

    • Too many

    • Too much

    Correct Answer
    A. Too many
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "too many" because the word "problems" is plural, indicating that there are multiple problems. "Too many" is the appropriate phrase to use when referring to a large number of countable nouns, such as problems. "Too much" is used for uncountable nouns, so it would not be suitable in this context.

    • Too many

    • Too much

    Correct Answer
    A. Too much

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    There are ......................... cars on the road ! I'm going to be late.

    • Too many

    • Too much

    Correct Answer
    A. Too many
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "too many." This is because the sentence is referring to the number of cars on the road, which is countable. "Too many" is used to indicate an excessive amount of countable nouns, such as cars. On the other hand, "too much" is used for uncountable nouns, such as water or time. Since the sentence mentions cars, "too many" is the appropriate choice to convey the idea of there being an excessive number of cars on the road.

    A. Too many

    • Too many

    • Too much

    Correct Answer
    A. Too much
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "too much" because the sentence is referring to the cost of something, which is a non-countable noun. "Too much" is used to describe an excessive amount of something that cannot be counted, such as money. "Too many" is used to describe an excessive amount of something that can be counted, such as objects or people. In this case, since money cannot be counted, "too much" is the appropriate phrase to use.
