Explanation:

The question above relies on our knowledge of countable and uncountable nouns. Words such as "few", "many", "some", and "number" accompany countable nouns, that is, nouns that can be quantified and used in the plural form. On the other hand, words such as "much" and "little" are used with uncountable nouns. Some words, such as "amount" and "no" can actually be used with both types of nouns, so it will really depend on the context to choose where to place them.
