Answer 2

Is there a lot of tea in the cup? - No, not much.

In this sentence, we need to choose the correct quantifier to fill in the blanks. The options given are "a lot of," "many," and "much."

To determine the correct choice, let's consider the meaning of each quantifier:

In the given sentence, we are referring to tea, which is an uncountable noun. Therefore, we should use the quantifier "a lot of" or "much."
