Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A: Do you read a lot?
B: Yes, I read __________ books.

• A. a lot
• B. a lot of
• C. too much
• D. very few

Answer 1

The correct option is B a lot of

The correct answer is Option B.

A LOT OF is used to express quantity. The speaker reads many books. Thus A LOT OF is the correct answer.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

Option A: A LOT is grammatically incorrect as per this context.

Option C: TOO MUCH is used to express extent and extremity.

Option D: VERY FEW does not go with the context of the sentence because the A asks B if he reads a lot. Thus VERY FEW cannot be the answer.
