Question

Chocolate cake contains a _______ amount of calorie.

• A. high
• B. numerous
• C. big
• D. large

Answer 1

Answer:

D. large

• high:

  • This is typically used to describe levels, quantities, or intensity, but not usually with "amount of." For example, we say "high calorie content" or "high amount of energy," but it's less common to say "high amount of calories."

• numerous:

  • This word means "many" or "a large number of," and it usually describes countable nouns (e.g., "numerous people," "numerous problems"). "Amount" is not typically described with "numerous."

• big:

  • "Big" is often used to describe size or extent, but it sounds informal and less precise when describing an "amount" in this context.

• large:

  • "Large" is the most appropriate adjective here. It commonly describes quantities or amounts and is more precise. For example, "a large amount of money" or "a large amount of calories."
