Help the baffled lawyer read through the eccentric billionaire's unusually specific will by selecting the correct words.
"I leave my antique clock collection to my five nephews. However, _________________________ them must first learn how to blindfold-wind a grandfather clock. Furthermore, _________________________ the furniture in the west wing is supposedly cursed, so please be careful when sitting down. Finally, _________________________ my former business partners will receive a single dime, as they know exactly what they did."
The correct answers are Every one of, Much of, and Few of.
Every one of: We cannot use every directly with a pronoun (e.g., "every them" is incorrect). We must use the structure every one of + pronoun.
Much of: Furniture is an uncountable noun. Because it is preceded by a specific determiner (the), we must use of after the quantifier (e.g., much of the, not much the).
Few of: Business partners is a plural countable noun preceded by the possessive determiner my. Therefore, we need of after the quantifier (e.g., few of my, not few my). We use few rather than a little because the noun is countable.
