I have eliminated (A), (B) and (D). But i am confused with option (C). Why (C) is wrong?lunarpower wrote:"most" is more than 50%.mmslf75 wrote:Q1 MOST / MANY / MORE imply more than 50 % ???
Q 2 What about usage of SOME ?? Will "some" mean less than 50 % ??
"more" means ... more. it means more than whatever statistic is cited.
e.g. "more than 25%"; "more than 50%". you can't just say "more" by itself.
"many" doesn't indicate any particular percentage. USUALLY it's used to refer to amounts that are "sizable" (i.e., not a tiny tiny fraction), but short of a majority.
e.g., if my team has 50 athletes, most native speakers would interpret "many of my athletes qualified for the finals" as meaning somewhere around 15-20 out of 50.
"some" also doesn't indicate any particular percentage, but, qualitatively, it's between "a few" and "many".
e.g., if my team has 50 athletes, most native speakers would interpret "some of my athletes qualified for the finals" as meaning somewhere around 5-15 out of 50.
