Question:

Select the most more appropriate option to fill in the blank.
There is not ______ water in the well.

Options:

too

much

many

small

Correct Answer:

much

Explanation:

There is not much water in the well.

Explanation:

  • Too: This adverb indicates excess or an extreme condition, but it doesn't fit well in this context. "Too much water" would suggest an overwhelming amount of water in the well.
  • Much: This word is used to describe an uncountable quantity of something, which is appropriate for describing the amount of water in the well.
  • Many: This word is used for countable items, and since water is typically measured as a volume, "many" is not the appropriate choice here.
  • Small: This adjective describes size, not quantity. It wouldn't accurately convey the concept of there being a limited amount of water in the well.
