Question

she is very intelligent. she has read _____ books (many/ much)​

Answer 1

She is very intelligent. She has read many books.

• There are different types of words which are known as the determiners. These determiners establish the reference of the noun with context to the other part of the sentence.
• The quantity defining determiners are known as the quantifiers.
• Similarly, the "many" is the appropriate quantifier in this case.

Answer 2

Correct Sentence:

She is very intelligent. she has read many books.

• We use the word 'many' in the given sentence as it gives the proper meaning.

• Some nouns can be counted such as books, cars, pencils, etc whereas some cannot be counted such as rice, sugar, water, oil, etc.

• Use the word 'much' if the noun is non-countable. Example- much rice, much sugar.

• Use the word 'many' if the noun is countable. Example- many books, many pens.

• The noun word 'books' is a countable noun. Hence, use the word 'many' in the given blank.
