You have to find _______ evidence to prosecute him.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → more
Complete sentence: You have to find more evidence to prosecute him. The evidence in hand is not enough, and further evidence is needed to prosecute him.
| Option | Meaning and use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) least | Least is a superlative meaning the smallest amount. It needs "the" and a comparison, and "find the least evidence" makes no sense here. | – |
| (2) most | Most is also a superlative and needs "the" and a group to compare with. | – |
| (3) more (answer) | "Evidence" is an uncountable noun. It takes quantity words such as some, much, more, little. More means an additional amount. | We need more time to finish the project. |
| (4) little | hardly any. Finding hardly any evidence would not help to prosecute him. | – |
