Fill in the blanks with an appropriate determiner._________ children l...
Explanation:
Determiners are words that come before a noun and indicate the reference of the noun. They include articles (a, an, the), demonstratives (this, that, these, those), possessives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their), quantifiers (some, any, many, few, several), and numbers.
In the given sentence, we need a determiner to modify the noun "children" and indicate which children love stories. The options are:
a) Most
b) Most of
c) None of the above
Option A "Most" is the correct answer because it functions as a determiner that refers to a majority of children without specifying a particular group. It is a quantifier that indicates a large amount or number. The sentence could be rewritten as "The majority of children love stories" or "Many children love stories."
Option B "Most of" is also a determiner, but it is more specific in referring to a majority of a particular group of children. For example, "Most of the children in this class love stories."
Option C "None of the above" is not a determiner and does not modify the noun "children." It is a negation of the options given.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A "Most."
