Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
She doesn't have ____ money.

• A. many
• B. much
• C. no
• D. very

Answer 1

The correct option is B much

The given sentence states that the subject does not have money. The answer, thus, must be an adjective that modifies 'money'. Further, the sentence is negative and to keep it negative, the answer must be positive. Here, the answer can either indicate that the subject does not have 'a great amount' of money or the subject does not have 'any amount' of money. Thus, the answer must mean 'a great amount' or 'any amount'.

Option A is incorrect. 'many' means 'a lot of'. Also, 'many' can only be used with a plural object and since our object is singular, 'many' will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.

Option B is correct. 'much' means 'a great amount'. Thus, it has the required meaning and also, it is a positive word. Thus, it meets all the required conditions.

Option C is incorrect. 'no' is a negative word and thus, makes the sentence positive. It will contradict the fact that the subject does not have money.

Option D is incorrect. 'very' means 'to a great extent'. Also, 'very' is generally used as an adverb to modify actions and not as an adjective to modify objects. Thus, it is incorrect.
