Question:

Select the most more appropriate option to fill in the blank.
There were trees on ________ side of the road.

Options:

every

either

too many

lot of

Correct Answer:

either

Explanation:

There were trees on either side of the road.

Explanation:

  • Every: This refers to each individual item in a group. While it could work in some contexts, "either" is a more suitable choice here to indicate that there were trees on both sides of the road.
  • Either: This indicates one of two possibilities or options. It's the most appropriate choice in this context to convey that trees were present on both sides of the road.
  • Too many: This phrase suggests an excessive quantity, which might not be accurate for describing trees on the sides of the road.
  • Lot of: This phrase is informal and less precise. "Either" provides a clearer and more concise description of the trees being on both sides of the road.
