1. How ... potatoes did you buy?

Explanation

The word "many" is used to ask about the number of countable items, such as potatoes. It is the correct answer because it is the appropriate quantifier to use when asking about the quantity of potatoes bought. "Much" is used for uncountable nouns, "lot of" is not grammatically correct, and "lots" is an informal alternative but not as precise as "many" in this context.

2. .. people prefer to stay at home than go out at the weekend.

Explanation

The correct answer is "many" because it is used to refer to a large number of countable objects or people. In this sentence, "people" is a countable noun, so "many" is the appropriate word to indicate a large number of individuals who prefer to stay at home rather than go out on the weekend.

3. Can you get some bread when you get home? There isn't ... left.

Explanation

The correct answer is "much" because the sentence is referring to an uncountable noun, which is bread in this case. Uncountable nouns cannot be pluralized or quantified with numbers, so we use "much" to indicate a large quantity or amount.

Submit
4. There were twice as ...women as men in the room.

Explanation

The word "many" is the correct answer because it is used to describe a large number of countable objects, such as people. In this case, it indicates that there were a large number of women compared to men in the room. The other options, "much," "lots," and "lot of," are not suitable for describing countable objects and would be incorrect in this context.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "many" because it is used to describe countable nouns, such as friends. Since we are talking about multiple friends, "many" is the appropriate word choice. "Much" is used for uncountable nouns, "lot" is informal and can be used for both countable and uncountable nouns, and "a lots" is grammatically incorrect.

6. She didn't show ... respect to her guest by ignoring him.

Explanation

The correct answer is "much". In this sentence, the word "much" is used to describe the level of respect shown by the person towards their guest. It implies that the person showed a low or insufficient amount of respect by ignoring the guest. The other options, such as "many", "lots", and "a lot of", do not convey the same meaning in this context.

Submit
7. Have you got any apples left at home? Not so ...

Explanation

The correct answer is "many" because "many" is used to describe countable nouns in the plural form, such as "apples." In this question, the speaker is asking if there are any apples left at home, indicating that apples are countable. "Not so many" implies that there are not a large number of apples left.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "a lot" because it is the most appropriate response to the question "Have you got any sugar?" The phrase "a lot" indicates a large quantity or amount, which suggests that the person has a sufficient amount of sugar. The other options, such as "much" and "many," do not convey the same level of abundance as "a lot."

Submit
10. We took ... food with us during the trip to Devon.

Explanation

During the trip to Devon, we brought a large quantity of food with us. The phrase "lots of" indicates a large amount or number of something, in this case, food. Therefore, "lots of" is the correct answer to complete the sentence.

Submit
11. ..of the food was not edible anymore.

Explanation

The word "much" is the correct answer because it is used to describe an amount or quantity of something. In this context, it indicates that a large amount of the food was not edible anymore. The other options, such as "many," "lots," and "a lot," are used to describe countable nouns or quantities, which do not fit the sentence structure or meaning. Therefore, "much" is the most appropriate choice.
