Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
__________ of us are staying home.

• A. Some
• B. A little
• C. Couples
• D. Much

Answer 1

The correct option is A Some

The sentence given here is a positive sentence. 'Any' is used in negative sentences and 'some' is used in positive sentences. Little and much are used for uncountable nouns and here the noun is countable thus little and much are not the correct answers.

'Couples' is a wrong usage. 'Couple' is a noun which means two people or things of the same sort considered together. There are no two groups present in the sentence and so couple cannot be in the plural form. Option A is also wrong.

Option A is correct
