Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
How much books do you think can this box hold?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. many books.
-
The phrase "How much books" is incorrect because "much" is used with uncountable nouns (e.g., "how much water").
-
Since "books" is a countable noun, the correct word is "many." Therefore, the proper phrase is "How many books," making the sentence: "How many books do you think can this box hold?"
