Identify the sentence in which the adjectives/quantifying expressions are incorrectly used with an uncountable noun.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) The preliminary findings revealed many significant information concerning the long-term effects of the intervention.
Concept (Quantifier with Uncountable Noun: Many vs Much): 'information' एक Uncountable Noun है, इसलिए इसके साथ 'many' नहीं आता; 'much' या 'a lot of' आता है। 'many' केवल Countable Plural (गणनीय बहुवचन) Noun के साथ प्रयुक्त होता है।
अतः 'many significant information' के स्थान पर 'much significant information' आएगा।
Option (b) में 'several ... pieces of evidence' सही है, क्योंकि 'pieces' Countable है। Option (c) में 'much information' और Option (d) में 'substantial evidence' दोनों Uncountable Noun के साथ सही हैं।
Examiner का trap: 'information' के साथ 'many' को सही मान लेना trap है; Uncountable Noun के साथ 'much' आता है।
Concept (Quantifier with Uncountable Noun: Many vs Much): 'information' is an uncountable noun, so it cannot take 'many'. It takes 'much' or 'a lot of'. 'many' is used only with countable plural nouns.
Therefore, 'many significant information' must become 'much significant information'.
Option (b) is correct, because 'several ... pieces of evidence' is fine: 'pieces' is countable. Options (c) with 'much information' and (d) with 'substantial evidence' are both correct with uncountable nouns.
Exam trap: accepting 'many' with 'information' is the trap; an uncountable noun takes 'much'.
