Choose the option that best completes the following sentence:
“There aren’t ____________ opportunities left for late submissions.”
Ⓐ much
Ⓑ many
Ⓒ some
Ⓓ a lot
Ⓔ little
The word "opportunities" is a plural countable noun. Here is why "many" is the only correct choice for this sentence:
Many is used with plural countable nouns in negative sentences and questions ("There aren't many opportunities...").
Much is used with uncountable nouns (e.g., much time, much water).
Some is typically used in affirmative sentences, not negative ones with "aren't".
A lot requires the preposition "of" to connect to a noun ("a lot of opportunities").
Little is used with uncountable nouns and means a small amount (e.g., little hope).
