Answer 1

Answer:

petrol in the tank

Answer 2

"We have many kilometers to go but there is only a little petrol left in the tank." This will be the complete sentence.

• The word many can be used as several things such as determiners, adjectives, pronouns, and nouns.
• When used as determiners or adjectives, 'many' means 'a large number of.'
• Here, 'many' is used to refer to the large amount of distance left to cover.
• The adjective 'little' when used as a determiner or pronoun can be defined as 'a small amount of.'
• Here, little is referring to the small amount of petrol left in the tank.
• 'Much' is used for uncountable nouns but here kilometers are a countable noun.
• 'Few' is used for plural countable nouns. Here, petrol is a singular countable noun. So, 'little' will be used.
• 'Any' is used when referring to one or some of a thing or a number of things, no matter how much or how many.
• Here, 'any' does not fit any blank.
• Thus, the correct complete sentence will be, "We have many kilometers to go but there is only a little petrol left in the tank."
