Fill in the gaps with "some, any, much, many":

1. A: How many potatoes have we got? B: Not many.

Explanation:

In this conversation, we are discussing the quantity of potatoes. The words "some," "any," "much," and "many" are used to express quantities.

- "Some" is used in positive sentences to indicate an unspecified quantity or a quantity that is considered to be sufficient. For example, "I have some potatoes." - "Any" is used in negative sentences or questions to indicate an absence of quantity or to ask about quantity. For example, "I don't have any potatoes" or "Do you have any potatoes?" - "Much" is used with uncountable nouns (nouns that cannot be counted individually) to indicate a large quantity. For example, "There is too much water." - "Many" is used with countable nouns (nouns that can be counted individually) to indicate a large quantity. For example, "There are many potatoes."

In the given conversation, the question is asking about the quantity of potatoes using the countable noun "potatoes." Therefore, the appropriate word to use is "many." The response indicates that the quantity of potatoes is not large, so "not many" is the correct answer.
