Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
I can’t go out tonight because I have _____ homework to do.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. a lot of.
Context: The sentence is about having too much homework, which prevents the speaker from going out.
Meaning of the words:
Few means a small number, used with countable nouns (not correct with uncountable “homework”).
The little means a small amount of something uncountable, but here the context requires a large quantity.
A lot of means a large amount or quantity, used with both countable and uncountable nouns.
Many means a large number, but only for countable nouns (not correct with “homework”).
Correct word: A lot of
Reason: Since "homework" is an uncountable noun, the correct collocation for expressing a large quantity is "a lot of homework."
Final Sentence: I can’t go out tonight because I have a lot of homework to do.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
