Have got _______ friends?
-
Much
-
Many
-
A lot of
Correct Answer
A. ManyExplanation
The correct answer is "many". This is because "many" is used to describe countable nouns, such as friends. In this case, we are asking about the number of friends someone has, so "many" is the appropriate word to use. "Much" is used for uncountable nouns, and "a lot of" can be used for both countable and uncountable nouns, but "many" is the most specific and suitable choice in this context.Rate this question:
