Question

Fill in the blanks with correct words that fit in the sentence logically and grammatically from the options given below:
I have _______ liking for cartoon movies. I hardly ever watch _____ DVDs of cartoon movies I have at home.
a) Much, any
b) Any, much
c) Little, any
d) A little, any

Answer 1

Hint: An adverb is a word that modifies something other than a noun. An adverb is the word class that qualifies verbs or clauses.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to find out which of the options contain an adverb which indicates that ‘I’ does not like cartoon movies for the first blank, and an adverb which indicates that ‘I’ does not watch the cartoon movies too much extent.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question-
Option (a.), 'Much, any', refers to ‘much’ which is defined as ‘to a great degree or extent’ and ‘any’ which is defined as ‘to any degree or extent’.Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as ‘much’ indicates that ‘I’ likes cartoon movies.
Option (b.), ‘Any, much', refers to ‘any’ for the first blank. Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as it does not indicate that ‘I’ does not like cartoon movies.
Option (c.), ‘Little, any', is correct as it correctly indicates that ‘I’ does not like cartoon movies in both the blanks.
Option (d.), ‘A little, any', is incorrect as using ‘a’ before ‘little’ in this sentence would be grammatically incorrect.

Note:
In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of determiners. A determiner is one of a limited class of noun modifiers that determine the referents of noun phrases.
