Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The shopkeeper has got _____ cheese.

• A. a lot of
• B. many
• C. few
• D. a few

Answer 1

The correct option is A a lot of

An indefinite adjective is used to describe a noun in a non-specific sense. Numbers are usually adjectives, because the information they give is how many or the amount of the noun. In this particular sentence, the amount of newspapers have been considered in an indefinite sense. Thus, we would be using indefinite numeral adjective.

"lots of" is a indefinite numeral adjective which specifies a particular amount. It is the correct answer

"many" and "few" can only be used for countable nouns whereas cheese is uncountable.

Option A is correct
