Question

Don't eat so ............chocolates or you will get fat. (Choose the correct option)

• A. many
• B. some
• C. much
• D. any

Hint:

Use “many” with countable nouns (e.g., apples, books, chocolates) and “much” with uncountable nouns (e.g., sugar, milk, water).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the noun type.
The noun “chocolates” is countable because we can count them as one chocolate, two chocolates, etc. Hence, the correct quantifier must agree with a countable noun.
Step 2: Choose the correct quantifier.
- “Many” is used with plural countable nouns.
- “Much” is used with uncountable nouns (like sugar, milk, water).
- “Some” is used in positive sentences, not in a negative warning like this.
- “Any” is used mainly in questions or negative sentences.
Step 3: Analyze the sentence meaning.
The sentence “Don’t eat so ............chocolates or you will get fat” is a negative warning, but it expresses quantity — not negation. Therefore, “many” fits naturally: “Don’t eat so many chocolates.”
Step 4: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (a) many. The completed sentence is: “Don’t eat so many chocolates or you will get fat.”
