Sentence Correction: Adjective and Adverbs Practice MCQ

Question Statement:

Intelligence is a trait that is actually quite difficult to measure, despite much different attempts to do so.

despite much different attempting to do so.

despite much different attempts to do it.

despite many different attempts to do so.

despite the much different attempts to do so.

despite much different attempts to do so.

Explanation:

Correct Answer: C

The use of "much" in the sentence is incorrect, as "much" indicates a great amount, but not a large count, and should be used for singular nouns. The correct choice should have the word "many" instead of "much." The only answer choice that makes this change is "despite many different attempts to do so."
