  • 2. 

    We are going to be late. There are too _ _ _ _ _ _ _ cars on the road.

    • Much

    • Many

    • Some

    • Little

    Correct Answer
    A. Many
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "many" because it is used to describe countable nouns, such as cars in this case. "Much" is used for uncountable nouns, "some" is used for both countable and uncountable nouns, and "little" is used for uncountable nouns to indicate a small amount.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    I am very tired , I had too _ _ _ _ _ _ _ work today.

    • Much

    • Many

    • Few

    • Some

    Correct Answer
    A. Much
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "much" because "much" is used to describe an uncountable noun, such as "work." In this sentence, "work" is an uncountable noun because it cannot be easily measured or counted. Therefore, we use "much" to indicate a large amount of work.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Only _ _ _ _ _ _ people know about your secret.

    • Much

    • Little

    • Few

    • A lot

    Correct Answer
    A. Few
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "few" because it means a small number of people. It implies that only a small group of individuals are aware of your secret, indicating that it is not widely known or shared.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    I'd like to have _ _ _ _ _ _ _ tea , please.

    • Much

    • Some

    • Few

    • Little

    Correct Answer
    A. Some
    Explanation
    In this sentence, "some" is the appropriate word to use because it refers to an unspecified quantity of tea, which is a non-countable noun. "Much" is used with questions or negatives, "few" refers to countable nouns, and "little" suggests a small amount but can imply insufficiency, which isn't suitable for this request.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    I don't know what to do , would you please give me _ _ _ _ _ _  advice.

    • A

    • An

    • Some

    • Many

    Correct Answer
    A. Some
    Explanation
    The phrase "I don't know what to do" implies that the person is seeking advice. The word "some" fits in this context as it suggests that the person is looking for a small amount or a few pieces of advice. Using "a" or "an" would imply that the person is looking for a single piece of advice, while "many" would suggest that the person wants a large number of advice, which may not be appropriate in this situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    I have been facing _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ problems lately.

    • Many

    • A lot of

    • Both A and B

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A and B
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Both A and B". This answer is correct because it states that the person has been facing "many" problems and "a lot of" problems lately. Both phrases convey the same meaning, indicating a large number or quantity of problems. Therefore, both options A and B are correct in describing the situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    We are going to be late. There is too _ _ _ _ _ _ _ traffic.

    • Much

    • Many

    • Some

    • Few

    Correct Answer
    A. Much
    Explanation
    The word "traffic" is an uncountable noun, referring to the collective movement of vehicles. Uncountable nouns are those that cannot be easily counted as individual units. We use "much" with uncountable nouns to quantify them. Therefore, the correct sentence is: "We are going to be late. There is too much traffic."

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    I read _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of books last year.

    • Much

    • Many

    • Little

    • A lot

    Correct Answer
    A. A lot
    Explanation
    The phrase "a lot" is the correct answer because it is used to describe a large quantity or number of something. In this sentence, it is used to describe the number of books the person read last year. The other options ("much," "many," and "little") do not fit grammatically or semantically in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    They say _ _ _ _ _ _ knowledge is a dangerous thing.

    • Little

    • Many

    • Few

    • Some

    Correct Answer
    A. Little
    Explanation
    Having little knowledge is considered a dangerous thing. This implies that having a small amount of knowledge can lead to overconfidence and ignorance, which can be harmful. It suggests that it is better to have no knowledge at all than to have a small amount that may mislead or deceive. This phrase emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and the potential risks of assuming to know more than one actually does.
