Question

Complete the sentence with the correct word: “Chocolate cake contains a ___ amount of calories.”

• A. High
• B. Numerous
• C. Big
• D. Large

Answer 1

Answer:

A. High

The noun “amount” needs to be described by an adjective.

• High amount is the commonly used and natural expression, especially when talking about calories, sugar, fat, cholesterol, etc.

• Numerous is used for countable nouns.

• Big and large can describe size/quantity in general, but “a high amount of calories” is the standard collocation.
