Understanding Determiners
Determiners are words that introduce nouns and clarify their meaning. They can indicate quantity, possession, or definiteness.
Analyzing the Options
In the sentence, "She didn't have _____ money to buy the dress," we need to choose a determiner that fits the context of having an insufficient amount of money.
Option A: Few
- "Few" suggests a small number of countable items.
- Example: "She has few friends."
- Not suitable for uncountable nouns like "money."
Option B: A Little
- "A little" indicates a small amount of uncountable nouns.
- Example: "She has a little time."
- However, it implies that there is some money, which contradicts the context of not having enough.
Option C: Any
- "Any" is used in negative sentences and questions.
- It indicates the absence of something.
- Example: "She doesn't have any money."
- This fits perfectly in the context of the sentence since it conveys that she has no money at all.
Option D: Several
- "Several" implies more than two but not many, and is used for countable items.
- Example: "She has several dresses."
- This cannot be used with "money" as it is uncountable.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'C,' "any," because it accurately reflects the negative context of the sentence, indicating that she has no money to purchase the dress. Thus, "any" is the most suitable determiner for the sentence provided.

Understanding Determiners
Determiners are words that introduce nouns and help to clarify their meaning. They provide information about quantity, definiteness, possession, etc. In this context, we are looking for a determiner that fits the sentence about students solving a problem.
Options Analyzed
- a) Many: This determiner indicates a large number of students, which fits well in the context of the sentence. It suggests that a significant portion of students were capable of solving the problem independently.
- b) Several: While this refers to more than a few, it implies a smaller quantity than "many." It may not convey the same strength or positivity about student capability as "many" does.
- c) Little: This determiner is generally used with uncountable nouns. Since "students" is a countable noun, using "little" would be grammatically incorrect in this context.
- d) All of the above: This option is incorrect because "little" does not fit as a determiner for "students."
Conclusion
The best choice is a) Many because:
- It effectively expresses a considerable number of students who successfully solved the problem.
- It maintains grammatical correctness and fits the context of the sentence.
In summary, "many" is the most appropriate determiner for the given sentence, making it the correct answer.

Understanding Determiners
Determiners are words that introduce nouns and provide context, such as quantity or definiteness. In the sentence "There was hardly ___ water left in the bottle," we need to choose a determiner that fits the context.
Analyzing the Options
- Some: This determiner suggests a positive quantity. The phrase would imply there is a sufficient amount of water left, which contradicts "hardly."
- Any: This determiner is used in negative sentences and questions. It fits well with "hardly," indicating a minimal or non-existent amount of water. This makes it the most appropriate choice.
- Few: This word is usually used with countable nouns, while "water" is uncountable. Thus, "few" cannot be used here.
- None: While this implies zero quantity, it does not work with "hardly," which suggests there is a small amount remaining.
Conclusion
The correct choice is any, as it aligns with the negative connotation of "hardly." The completed sentence reads: "There was hardly any water left in the bottle," effectively conveying that there is very little water remaining.

    both

Explanation:

Determiner:
Determiners are words that are used before a noun to indicate which things or people we are talking about. They include words like "the," "this," "my," "some," etc.

Correct Answer:
The correct determiner in this sentence is "either."

Explanation:
- The determiner "either" is used when referring to one of two options.
- In this sentence, the speaker is implying that she didn't give any of the documents that were requested.
- The word "either" indicates that she did not give any of the documents out of the two options (the documents requested).
- Therefore, the correct determiner to use in this context is "either."
Using "none" would imply that she didn't give any documents at all, while "neither" is used when referring to two options, and "both" is used when referring to all options.

Understanding Determiners
In English, determiners are words that introduce nouns and provide context about them. They indicate quantity, possession, definiteness, and more. In the sentence "She borrowed ___ books from the library," the correct determiner is crucial for conveying the right meaning.
Option Analysis
- Many (Correct Answer)
- "Many" is used to quantify countable nouns, like "books."
- It implies a large number but does not specify an exact amount.
- Example: "She borrowed many books from the library," suggests she borrowed a significant quantity.
- Each
- "Each" refers to individual items in a group, emphasizing individuality.
- Example: "Each book is interesting," focuses on the uniqueness of every single book.
- In the context of the sentence, it would imply she borrowed one book at a time, which is not intended.
- Much
- "Much" is generally used with uncountable nouns, such as "water" or "money."
- Saying "She borrowed much books" is grammatically incorrect because "books" are countable.
- Every
- "Every" refers to all members of a group individually but is also not suitable here.
- Example: "Every book has its own story," implies all books collectively but doesn’t fit the act of borrowing.
Conclusion
In summary, "many" is the most suitable choice for the sentence as it accurately quantifies the countable noun "books." It effectively communicates that a large number of books were borrowed, making it the correct determiner for this context.
