Identify the correct determiner –

"……………… a man would not miss such a chance."

Correct option is C

Correct Answer: (c) Many

Correct Sentence:

Many a man would not miss such a chance.

Explanation:

• The phrase “many a + singular noun” is a fixed and standard expression in English.

• It means “a large number of” and is used for emphasis.

• Although the noun is singular (man), the meaning is plural (many men).

• Hence, “Many a man would not miss such a chance” is both grammatically correct and meaningful.

Grammatical Rule Involved (English):

• Structure: Many a + singular noun + singular verb

• It is used to express a large number in a formal or emphatic way.

• Example: Many a student has faced this problem.

Grammar Rule in Hindi:

• “Many a” के बाद हमेशा singular noun आता है, लेकिन इसका अर्थ बहुवचन (plural) होता है।

• संरचना: Many a + एकवचन संज्ञा + एकवचन क्रिया

• उदाहरण: Many a man has tried and failed.

So the correct answer is (c).
