Answer 2

The answers are as follows:

• He didn't eat much rice. We use 'much' because we are talking about the quantity of the bulk of rice and not the number of rice grains.
• You ate only a little rice. We use 'a little' because we are referring to a single object, that is the rice being eaten.
• They were bored because there was nothing to do. 'Nothing' can either singular or plural.
• We invited our friends over to our house for a barbeque. Here 'our' is used because we are referring to people we know- our friends.
• Most of the cakes had been baked the day before.
