(CETREDE - 2026) - QUESTÃO

 Which option uses quantifiers in a way that is fully appropriate to the nouns that follow?

Ⓐ There is too much noise and very few learners concentrating.

Ⓑ We have too many homework and too few time to check it.

Ⓒ There are too much students and very little chairs.

Ⓓ We have a little books and a few information about them.

Ⓔ There are too much exercises and very many pressure on the class.

The correct option is A: There is too much noise and very few learners concentrating.

To choose the correct option, we must match countable nouns (things we can count, like learners, chairs, books) with countable quantifiers (many, few, a few), and uncountable nouns (concepts or mass nouns like noise, time, information, pressure) with uncountable quantifiers (much, little, a little).

• "Noise" is uncountable - uses too much (Correct).

• "Learners" is plural countable - uses very few (Correct).

Why the other options are incorrect:

• B) "We have too many homework and too few time..."

  • Correction: ...too much homework and too little time... (Homework and time are both uncountable).

• C) "There are too much students and very little chairs."

  • Correction: ...too many students and very few chairs. (Students and chairs are both plural countable).

• D) "We have a little books and a few information..."

  • Correction: ...a few books and a little information... (Books is countable, information is uncountable).

• E) "There are too much exercises and very many pressure..."

  • Correction: ...too many exercises and a lot of / a great deal of pressure... (Exercises is countable, pressure is uncountable).
