Question

Fill in the blank using the correct options given:
“Which movie did you enjoy more, The Ice Age or Home Alone?” “I enjoyed ____________ of these movies.”
a) all
b) either
c) both
d) any

Answer 1

Hint:An adjective is a word that expresses an attribute of something. An adjective is the word class that qualifies nouns.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to find out which of the adjectives given to us in the options correctly indicates that the person likes the two movies.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'all', refers to ‘(quantifier) used with either mass or count nouns to indicate the whole number or amount of or everyone of a class’.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as only two nouns have been given, and all is used with more than two nouns.
Option (b.), ‘either', refers to an adverb which means ‘after a negative statement used as an intensive meaning something like `likewise' or `also’’.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as we need an adjective that correctly indicates that the person likes the two movies.
Option (c.), ‘both', refers to ‘(used with count nouns) two considered together; the two’.
Therefore, option (c.) is correct as this represents two nouns.
Option (d.), ‘any', refers to ‘one or some or every or all without specification.’
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as any is usually used for alternatives, which are not present in the sentence.

Note:
 In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of adverbs as well, since ‘either’ is an adverb. An adverb is a word that modifies something other than a noun. An adverb is the word class that qualifies verbs or clauses.
