Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I really think there is too ___________ furniture in your office.
a) Much
b) More
c) Many
d) Most

Answer 1

Hint: In the above-given sentence, the word 'too' indicates an extreme degree of the quantity of 'furniture'. Thus, the answer must complete the adjective of quantity and indicate an extreme degree.

Complete answer:
In the above question the word ‘too’ shows an extreme degree of something and the something is the furniture.
Now, since it shows the extreme degree, the answer must be in that form too and it must complete the sentence with an adjective referring to quantity and an extreme degree of that quantity.
So, let us now look into the options so as to understand how and where they are used and which would be the most suitable one here.
So –
Option (a) – ‘much’: much is an adjective of a quantity which when paired with ‘too’ indicates an extreme degree of that quantity.
Option (b) – ‘more’: more is more in the form of a comparative degree and since there's no comparison between the objects we cannot use this to complete the sentence.
Option (c) – ‘many’: many are used to refer to the plural and countable noun but furniture is a singular noun. Hence this too cannot be used to complete the sentence.
Option (d) – ‘most’: most are the superlative form and since the sentence too already shows the extreme degree therefore there is no need for superlative form. Hence, we cannot use it as a solution. Therefore, the correct solution is option (a).

Note:
The word most is the superlative for (or degree) hence you can easily eliminate it from the options and then try to find the answers.
