Question

The sentence has four underlined words or phrases. Choose the word or phrase that must be changed for the sentence to be correct

Smoking is not allowed at petrol pumps because there is too many easily ignited material in the vicinity.

• A. Smoking
• B. there is
• C. too many
• D. ignited

Answer 1

The correct option is C too many

To change the sentence from incorrect to correct 'too much' should be used in place of 'too many'. Material is a mass noun, and 'many' is a count noun determiner. Therefore, we should use 'much' which is a mass noun determiner.
