Question

Fill in the blank with appropriate option.
My hens lay _________ eggs everyday.

• A. A large amount of
• B. Several
• C. Little
• D. A little

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Several

The sentence mentions the hen laying 'eggs' everyday.

Eggs are plural countable nouns. We use little in case of singular uncountable nouns and so option C and D are incorrect. Option A) a large amount of is also used in case of uncountable nouns and so it is also incorrect.

Therefore, the most apt answer is option B) several.
