Select the most appropriate set of words from the given choices to fill in the blanks.
The present Constitution will see ___________ amendments but its basic structure will survive.
much more
many more
too many more
quite a few more
Correct Answer :
A. much more
The given statement refers that there will be more amendments, but that its basic structure will still remain the same. Option (b) is correct, because many more means an increase in the number. Option (a) is incorrect, because much is used in cases of uncountable nouns. Option (c) is incorrect, because too many more refers to a huge number of amendments, and we have already explained that its not what the statement refers to. Option (d) is incorrect, because quite refers to the degree or intensity, so it is saying that there will be very few more amendments, which is not what the author intends.
