Questão

The town’s radio booth is preparing a short message for a beach clean-up. The coordinator says about 35 people have confirmed online, including tourists who only speak English. On the table, there are 18 pairs of reusable gloves and a small cooler with drinking water left from last weekend. The local shop that sells trash bags will open only after the event starts. Marina, a volunteer, will record one clear sentence in English. The sentence must (1) warn that supplies are limited, (2) ask volunteers if they can bring extra items, and (3) sound natural and easy to understand for visitors. Based on the text, identify the sentence Marina should record using some, any, many and much in an intelligible and correct way.

1. A) We expect many volunteers; we have some gloves but not much water—do you have much bottles and much trash bags?
2. B) We expect many volunteers; we have some gloves but not many water—do you have any bottles and any trash bags?
3. C) We expect many volunteers; we have some gloves but not much water—do you have any bottles and any trash bags?
4. D) We expect many volunteers; we have any gloves but not much water—do you have any bottles and any trash bags?
5. E) We expect much volunteers; we have some gloves but not much water—do you have any bottles and any trash bags?

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa C

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique o tipo de cada substantivo. Volunteers (voluntários) e bottles (garrafas) e trash bags (sacos de lixo) são contáveis, então aceitam many e são usados no plural. Water (água) é incontável, então aceita much. Gloves (luvas) é contável no plural.
2. Verifique cada quantificador. Many volunteers está correto, pois o substantivo é contável. Some gloves está correto em frase afirmativa, indicando uma quantidade positiva. Not much water está correto, pois water é incontável e a frase é negativa. Any bottles e any trash bags está correto, pois any é usado em perguntas com substantivos contáveis.
3. Compare com as alternativas. A alternativa C reúne todos os usos corretos. Os erros das outras são: na A, much é usado com bottles e trash bags, que são contáveis; na B, many é usado com water, que é incontável; na D, any aparece em frase afirmativa (we have any gloves), o que não é natural nesse contexto; na E, much é usado com volunteers, que é contável.
4. Conclusão. A frase C atende aos três critérios do enunciado: avisa que os suprimentos são limitados (not much water e some gloves), pergunta aos voluntários sobre itens extras (do you have any bottles and any trash bags?) e é clara e natural para visitantes. O gabarito C está correto.

💡 Dica: Use many com substantivos contáveis, much com incontáveis e any em perguntas.
