Complete the following sentence with the correct option :
Lalit has gone to the bank to get ________ money.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → some
Note: The given answer is as per the official NTA Answer Key. However, more than one answer is possible here: Option (2) "some" and Option (4) "a bit of" both make a correct sentence, as explained below.
Option 1: any — Incorrect.
- Any is used mainly in negative sentences and questions for an amount that is not stated.
- "Lalit has gone to the bank to get" is a positive statement, so "any money" does not fit.
Example: I don't have any change for the bus.
Option 2: some — Correct (Answer as per NTA).
- Some stands for an amount that is not stated and is the usual word in positive sentences, with both countable and uncountable nouns.
- Money is uncountable and the sentence is positive, so "to get some money" is the standard choice.
Example: Please buy some milk on your way home.
Complete sentence: Lalit has gone to the bank to get some money.
Option 3: much — Incorrect.
- Much means a large amount and goes with uncountable nouns, mainly in negatives and questions.
- "To get much money" sounds unnatural in this plain positive sentence.
Example: We didn't spend much time at the market.
Option 4: a bit of — Can also be considered as correct.
- A bit of means a small amount of and is used with uncountable nouns in positive sentences.
- "Lalit has gone to the bank to get a bit of money" is grammatical; it is informal and adds the sense that the amount is small.
Example: Add a bit of salt to the soup.
