Question

Choose an appropriate option to complete the sentence.

He does not earn ___ money. But with ____ money he earns, his family is able to lead a comfortable life.

• A. much, the little
• B. many, the little
• C. much, few
• D. many, a few

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

much, the little

In the given sentence, the noun money is an uncountable noun, and we want to tell that the amount of money he earns is not that high. Hence, much is the right word. Many is incorrect, because many is used to refer to countable nouns.
On similar lines, few is incorrect for second blank because it refers to countable nouns. In the given context, 'little' is the appropriate word as it used to refer to uncountable nouns.
