D. Fill in the blanks with *many* or *much*.
*Rule: Use
many for things you can count (like apples). Use
much for things you cannot count individually (like water or sugar).*
1. How
many brothers do you have? (Brothers are countable)
2. How
much sugar has she bought? (Sugar is uncountable)
3. How
much time is there? (Time is uncountable)
4. How
much rupees does he need? (*Note: Usually we say "How many rupees" because they are countable, but in some contexts regarding total value, 'much' is used. However, strictly grammatically, it should be
many. Let's look at standard grammar rules: Rupees are countable units. So,
many is correct.*) -> Correction:
many
5. How
much money was there? (Money is uncountable)
6. How
much water cans you drink? (*Note: This sentence is slightly tricky. If it means "water," it is much. If it means "cans of water," it is many. Given the phrasing "water cans," it likely refers to the containers, so
many. However, usually, these questions test the noun immediately following. Let's assume it asks about the quantity of water generally or the number of cans. "How many water cans" makes sense. "How much water" makes sense. Let's stick to the noun "cans" being countable.* ->
many)
7. How
many glasses of water do you drink in a day? (Glasses are countable)
*(Self-Correction on #4 and #6 based on common school grammar patterns)*:
- #4: Rupees are countable. Answer:
many.
- #6: "Water cans" implies the containers. Containers are countable. Answer:
many.
