  1. many
  2. much
  3. few
  4. several

Q3. Look at ____ beautiful flowers over there!
  1. this
  2. that
  3. those
  4. this one
Show answer
Answer: C. those
'Those' is the correct demonstrative pronoun used for plural nouns ('flowers') that are far away ('over there'). 'This' and 'that' are for singular nouns, and 'this one' is also singular.
Q4. He has ____ friends, so he often feels lonely.
  1. a few
  2. few
  3. many
  4. some
Show answer
Answer: B. few
'Few' (without 'a') indicates a small number, often implying a negative or insufficient quantity, which aligns with the feeling of loneliness. 'A few' would imply a small but sufficient number.
Q5. We still have ____ time to finish the project, so don't worry.
  1. little
  2. a little
  3. much
  4. few
Show answer
Answer: B. a little
'A little' indicates a small but sufficient quantity, which fits the context of 'don't worry'. 'Little' (without 'a') would imply hardly any time, suggesting worry.
Q6. Do you have ____ questions about the new policy?
  1. some
  2. any
  3. much
  4. a little
Show answer

'Any' is generally used in interrogative (question) and negative sentences. 'Some' is typically used in affirmative sentences or offers/requests.
Q7. ____ student in the class received a participation certificate.
  1. All
  2. Every
  3. Both
  4. Many
Show answer
Answer: B. Every
'Every' is used with a singular countable noun ('student') to refer to all members of a group individually, emphasizing the collective aspect of each one receiving a certificate. 'All' would require a plural noun ('All students').
Q8. The cat licked ____ paws clean after eating.
  1. it's
  2. its
  3. their
  4. her
Show answer
Answer: B. its
'Its' is the possessive form of 'it', indicating ownership by the cat. 'It's' is a contraction of 'it is' or 'it has'.
Q9. Despite ____ warnings, ____ people still ignored the safety regulations.
  1. much / a little
  2. several / many
  3. every / few
  4. a lot of / much
Show answer
Answer: B. several / many
'Warnings' and 'people' are both countable nouns. 'Several' is used for an indefinite number of countable nouns, and 'many' is used for a large number of countable nouns. This combination fits the context of warnings being given and people ignoring them.
