Complete the tour guide's honest warning about the haunted castle.

"While a few ghosts are friendly, ___ of the spirits here will try to steal your snacks."

The correct answer is most.

Most refers to the majority of a group and works perfectly with "of the spirits."

• "Much" is only used for uncountable nouns (spirits are countable).

• "Every" cannot be followed by "of the" and requires a singular noun.

• "All" would mean 100% of the spirits, which contradicts the first part of the sentence stating that "a few" are friendly!
