Answer 1

Answer:

the police found

large amount of money

Answer 2

The police found a large amount of counterfeit money as well as guns at the gang's headquarters.

• 'A large amount of' is used as it suggests that the counterfeit money cannot be counted.
• The police found a lot of money and guns at the headquarters.
• 'Only a few' means that a small amount was involved and so it won't be used.
• 'A number of' cannot be used for money as it can be counted only in currency terms.
• Similarly, 'several more' cannot be used here.
