SSC MTS - 03 May 2023 - Shift 2 • English • Q54

Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option ‘no correction required’ if the sentence is correct as given.

Now (how much autograph) would you like? I can do joined-up writing now, you know!’

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. how many autographs.

  • "How many autographs" is a suitable option.
  • Since "many" is used with countable nouns like "autographs," this is the appropriate term to use.
  • Compared to other options:
    • "How much many autographs": This is incorrect since "many" is redundant in this context, and "much" is used with uncountable nouns.
    • "How most autographs": This is not accurate as the word "most" is not suitable when referring to a quantitative question.
