93. Match the parts of the sentences.

Solution for 93:

• 1. Is that coat ...? - c) many (Incorrect match according to standard grammar, 'much' or 'few' would be more appropriate for quantity of an uncountable noun like 'coat' if it refers to material, but if it refers to the number of coats, then 'many' is correct. However, the question is phrased as if it's a singular item, making 'much' or 'few' potentially better. Given the options, and typical textbook exercises, 'much' is most likely intended for the singular 'coat' if referring to material, and 'many' for countable items. Since 'coat' can be countable, let's assume countability. The options provided are a) much, b) little, c) many, d) few. For 'Is that coat...?', 'much' would be used for uncountable like 'Is that coat much ...?' (meaning expensive) or if 'coat' were plural and uncountable 'Are those coats much ...?'. If referring to the number of coats, 'many' would be appropriate for plural: 'Are there many coats?'. With the singular 'coat', 'much' is sometimes used informally for quantity or expense. Let's re-evaluate based on common English usage in exercises. The most fitting completion for "Is that coat...?" among the choices, if implying cost or quality, would typically be 'much' (e.g., 'Is that coat much?', meaning expensive). However, if it's about quantity of coats, it should be plural. Given the options, and typical elementary English exercises, it's likely testing quantifiers. If 'coat' is treated as uncountable for its material, 'much' is plausible. If countable, then it should be plural. Let's assume the question is flawed or testing a specific context. If we assume it refers to expense: 'Is that coat much?' (expensive). If it refers to something else, it's unclear. Let's consider the other sentences to infer the intent.
• 2. How ... girls are there in your class? - c) many (This is a standard question with a countable noun 'girls', so 'many' is correct.)
• 3. How ... bread do you want? - a) much (This is a standard question with an uncountable noun 'bread', so 'much' is correct.)

Based on the analysis of sentence 2 and 3, we can infer the intended use of quantifiers. Therefore, for sentence 1, if it's about expense or quality, 'much' is the most likely intended answer, despite the awkward phrasing. If it were about the quantity of coats, it would need to be plural. Given the options, and the common pairing of 'much' with uncountable or abstract concepts, or sometimes price, 'much' is the most plausible fit for a singular 'coat' in this context of quantifiers.

Matching the parts:

• 1. Is that coat ...? - a) much (Assuming it refers to expense or quantity in a non-standard phrasing for a singular item)
• 2. How ... girls are there in your class? - c) many
• 3. How ... bread do you want? - a) much

Possible Answer Options Analysis:

• A) 1a, 2d, 3c: 2d is 'few', incorrect for girls.
• B) 1a, 2c, 3d: 3d is 'few', incorrect for bread.
• C) 1c, 2d, 3a: 1c is 'many', unlikely for singular 'coat'. 2d is 'few', incorrect for girls. 3a is 'much', correct for bread.
• D) 1b, 2c, 3a: 1b is 'little', unlikely for 'coat'. 2c is 'many', correct for girls. 3a is 'much', correct for bread.
• E) 1b, 2c, 3d: 1b is 'little', unlikely. 2c is 'many', correct. 3d is 'few', incorrect for bread.

Revisiting the options with our deduced matches (1a, 2c, 3a): This combination is not directly listed. Let's re-examine the question and options more carefully.

Sentence 1: Is that coat...?

• If it means 'Is that coat expensive?', then 'much' is used. 'Is that coat much?' - A) much.
• If it means 'Is that coat heavy/warm (material)?', 'much' might be used for uncountable.
• If it's about the number of coats, it should be plural: 'Are there many coats?'. Given the singular, 'many' is unlikely here.
• 'Little' (b) is for uncountable nouns. 'Few' (d) is for countable nouns (plural).
• 'Many' (c) is for countable nouns (plural).
• So, for sentence 1, 'a) much' seems the most plausible option if it's about cost or general quality/quantity implied as uncountable in this specific exercise context.

Sentence 2: How ... girls are there in your class?

• 'girls' is countable plural. The correct quantifier is 'many'. So, 2 must be 'c) many'.

Sentence 3: How ... bread do you want?

• 'bread' is uncountable. The correct quantifier is 'much'. So, 3 must be 'a) much'.

Combining these: 1-a, 2-c, 3-a. This combination is NOT directly available in options A, B, C, D, E. This indicates a potential error in the question or the provided options.

Let's assume there's a typo in the options or question. If we look at the given options and try to fit the best matches:

Option A: 1a, 2d, 3c (1-much, 2-few, 3-many). Incorrect. 'few' for girls, 'many' for bread.

Option B: 1a, 2c, 3d (1-much, 2-many, 3-few). Incorrect. 'few' for bread.

Option C: 1c, 2d, 3a (1-many, 2-few, 3-much). Incorrect. 'many' for singular coat, 'few' for girls.

Option D: 1b, 2c, 3a (1-little, 2-many, 3-much). Let's evaluate this. 2c (many girls) is correct. 3a (much bread) is correct. Now for 1: 'Is that coat little...?'. 'Little' is used for uncountable nouns. If 'coat' refers to material, it could be 'little'. However, 'Is that coat much?' is more common for expense. If the question is testing the distinction between countable and uncountable, and 'coat' is being treated as uncountable for its material, then 'little' might be intended. However, the primary use of 'much' for uncountable and 'many' for countable is more standard.

Option E: 1b, 2c, 3d (1-little, 2-many, 3-few). Incorrect. 'few' for bread.

There seems to be a significant issue with the question and options provided, as no option perfectly matches the standard grammatical rules for quantifiers (1-a/much, 2-c/many, 3-a/much).

Let's reconsider option B: 1a, 2c, 3d. (1-much, 2-many, 3-few). If we assume that 'Is that coat...?' is asking about price, then 'much' works. 'How many girls...?' is correct. But 'How few bread...?' is incorrect. Bread is uncountable.

Let's consider the possibility that the question intends to use 'little' for uncountable nouns in sentence 1 if it refers to quantity of material, and 'few' for countable nouns. However, 'How many girls...' clearly requires 'many'.

Given the provided options, and the high likelihood of an error in the question/options, let's try to find the *least incorrect* option by focusing on the most unambiguous parts.

Sentence 2: 'How ... girls are there in your class?' clearly requires 'many' (c). Sentence 3: 'How ... bread do you want?' clearly requires 'much' (a).

So, we need an option that has '2c' and '3a'. Looking at the options:

• A) 1a, 2d, 3c
• B) 1a, 2c, 3d
• C) 1c, 2d, 3a
• D) 1b, 2c, 3a
• E) 1b, 2c, 3d

Option D has '2c' and '3a'. Let's check its first part: '1b'. This means 'Is that coat little...?'. 'Little' is used for uncountable nouns. If 'coat' refers to its material or some abstract quality, then 'little' might fit. For example, 'Is there little chance of rain?' or 'Is there little milk left?'. For 'coat', it's less common but possible if referring to its substance or thickness. Therefore, option D is the most plausible choice, assuming 'little' is used for an uncountable interpretation of 'coat' in sentence 1.

Final Answer for 93:

1-b) little (Assuming 'coat' is treated as uncountable for material/quality in this context, e.g., 'Is there little warmth from that coat?')

2-c) many (Correct for countable 'girls')

3-a) much (Correct for uncountable 'bread')

This corresponds to option D.

Answer to question 93: D) 1b, 2c, 3a
