Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable determiner:
I would like to buy ______ sugar, please.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C some

The given sentence needs to be filled with the most suitable determiner. We have to determine the amount of 'sugar'. It is an uncountable noun. Option A is incorrect, as we use 'any' with negative sentences and questions, like - She didn't have any sugar./ Did she have any sugar? Option B is incorrect because 'Much' is usually used with uncountable and abstract nouns like 'time'. Here, 'much' can be used to ask questions - How much sugar do you want? Option D is incorrect, as 'many' is used for countable nouns. Option C is correct, as 'some' is used for uncountable nouns and in positive sentences.
