Answer:

(some) is the answer...

Answer 2

Answer:

I ate some rice and drank some water.​

I ate a lot of rice and drank some water.​

Explanation:

• Rice comes under the category of 'uncountable'. In simple words it means we cannot say  'I ate one rice' or we can't say  'I ate 50 rice'.

     That is why we should say I ate some rice. Some indicates a uncountable number.

∴We say I ate some rice and drank some water.​

• A lot of indirectly means 'uncountable'. Like some, it also indicates something uncountable

∴ We also say I ate a lot of rice and drank some water.
