Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I saw _____ change on the table a minute ago.

• A. much
• B. some
• C. many
• D. any

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

some

Adjective of quantity indicates the amount or estimated amount of the noun or pronoun in the sentence. It does not provide information about exact numbers, it tells only the amount of noun in relative or whole terms.

Option A: Much is used for uncountable nouns.

Option B: Some can be used with plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns. Some is usually used in positive statements.

Option C: Many is used for countable nouns.

Option D: Any is usually used for plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns in questions and negative statements.

In this sentence we cannot properly understand the noun being countable or uncountable. The sentence is positive so we cannot use any. Option B is correct.
