Step into the shoes of a stressed-out wedding planner! Review the catering and guest list notes, and select ALL the sentences that are grammatically correct.
The correct answers are Very few of the guests have RSVP'd on time, Much of the wedding cake was mysteriously eaten by the best man, and Several of my carefully arranged centerpieces were knocked over.
Quantifiers must match the countability of the noun phrase they refer to, even when separated by "of".
- Few / Several / Many are used with plural countable nouns (e.g., few of the guests, several of my centerpieces).
- Little / Much are used with uncountable nouns (e.g., much of the wedding cake).
"Very little of the guests" and "Much of the bridesmaids" are incorrect because guests and bridesmaids are countable nouns.
