Question

Choose the correct answer. There has been ... fruit on the pear tree in our garden this year, so we won’t be giving ... away. A) a little/many B) all/each C) little/much D) every/some​

Answer 1

• There has been little fruit on the pear tree in our garden this year, so we won’t be giving much away.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) a little/many.

The sentence states that there has been a small amount of fruit on the pear tree in the garden this year. This is indicated by the phrase "a little fruit." The word "many" is used to indicate that there is a large quantity of fruit, which is not the case in this sentence.

The phrase "so we won't be giving away" suggests that the speaker had plans to give away the fruit, but because there is only a small amount, they will not be able to do so. This further supports the choice of "a little" as the correct answer.

The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. Option B) "all/each" does not accurately describe the quantity of fruit on the tree. Option C) "little/much" is similar to option A but does not fit the context of the sentence, as it does not suggest a small amount of fruit. Option D) "every/some" also does not accurately describe the quantity of fruit on the tree.
