| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) There hasn’t been much traffic on the river bridge since the metro line opened. | (II) much | Much goes with an uncountable noun. “Traffic” cannot be counted, and the sentence is negative. |
| (B) There are two ATMs near the bank gate, and you can draw cash from either machine. | (IV) either | Either means one or the other of two. “Two ATMs” shows there are only two. |
| (C) Half the class went to the museum on Friday, and the rest went on Saturday. | (III) Half | Half can come straight before “the” and a noun. “The rest” points to the other half. |
| (D) Most snakes found in these hills are harmless, the forest guard told us. | (I) Most | Most goes straight before a plural noun when we speak in general. “Snakes” is plural, with no “the” before it. |
