Test: Determiners - 2 - Class 8 MCQ

The correct answer is 'Few' because it is used with countable nouns like 'people.'

'Little' refers to uncountable nouns, which doesn't apply here.

The correct determiner to use here is None because it precedes 'of' and correctly indicates that not a single one of the friends smokes or drinks. The phrase 'No of' is grammatically incorrect, so option B is eliminated.

Option A, 'No,' does not fit in this context as it cannot be followed by 'of.' Therefore, the correct answer is C, None of.

The sentence uses the determiner little, which correctly modifies the uncountable noun patience.

Both 'All' and 'All of' are correct because they can both be used before a noun with a determiner, such as 'his ideas.'

The correct determiner to use here is 'less' because 'money' is an uncountable noun. The word 'less' is the appropriate term for comparing quantities of uncountable nouns.

The correct answer is either could be used here because both "all" and "all of" are acceptable determiners in this context. They can be used interchangeably without changing the meaning of the sentence.

Explanation of Incorrect Options

• all: While this is a valid option, it is not the only correct choice, as "all of" is also acceptable in this context.
• all of: This option is also correct, but it does not acknowledge that "all" can also be used.
• none of the above: This is incorrect because both "all" and "all of" are valid determiners for this sentence.

The correct answer is Some because it is the most appropriate determiner in this context. The sentence implies that a portion of the information was outdated, which fits the meaning of 'some'.

Explanation of Incorrect Options

• Many - This determiner refers to a large number of countable items, which does not fit well in this context where the focus is on the information as a whole.
• All - This implies that every piece of information was outdated, which is not supported by the sentence structure.
• None - This suggests that no information was outdated, which contradicts the premise of the question.

The correct answer is Either. In this context, 'either' is used to indicate that one of the keys can open the door. It functions correctly as a determiner before the plural noun 'keys'.

Explanation of Incorrect Options

• Neither: This option suggests that none of the keys can open the door, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
• Neither of: This phrase is incomplete without a following noun or pronoun and does not correctly relate to the plural subject 'keys'.
• Either could be used here: This option is not a determiner but a phrase that does not directly provide a suitable answer to the fill-in-the-blank question.

The sentence requires a determiner to describe the uncountable noun 'fertilizer.'

• Among the options, 'much' is appropriate.
• It is used with uncountable nouns in negative sentences.
• It indicates zero quantity.

In this sentence, the appropriate determiner to fill in the blank is Both. This is because it indicates that both parents equally enjoy traveling.

Explanation of Incorrect Options

• None would imply that neither parent likes traveling, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
• Either suggests that one of the parents likes traveling, but does not indicate that both do, making it unsuitable.
• All is incorrect as it refers to a group larger than just the two parents mentioned, which makes it irrelevant in this context.
