Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
______rice is there?

• A. How many
• B. How much
• C. How long
• D. How

Answer 1

The correct option is B How much

The correct answer is Option B.

HOW MUCH is used to ask the quantity of something whose exact number cannot be determined. The exact number of rice cannot be determined because rice is an uncountable noun. Hence HOW MUCH will be used to ask the quantity of rice.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

Option A: HOW MANY will be used to ask the quantity of something whose exact number can be determined, for eg. books.

Option C: HOW LONG will be used to ask the length of something.

Option D: HOW is used to ask the manner of something.
