    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If no substitution is required, select ‘No substitution’.
    I’ve got a lot of homeworks this weekend.

    A.

    a lot of homework

    B.

    No substitution

    C.

    a lots of homework

    D.

    much homework

    Correct option is A

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) a lot of homework.

    Explanation:
    "Homework" is an uncountable noun, and uncountable nouns do not take a plural form. Therefore, adding "s" to make "homeworks" is incorrect.

    Grammatical Rule Used:
    Uncountable noun rule – Uncountable nouns (like homework, advice, luggage, information) do not take plural forms and should not be used with plural verbs or quantifiers that imply countability.

    Incorrect: a lot of homeworks
    Correct: a lot of homework

    Correct Sentence:
    "I’ve got a lot of homework this weekend."

    Information-booster:
    Uncountable nouns are quantified using expressions like:

    • A lot of homework
    • Some advice
    • Much information
      Avoid using articles like "a/an" or adding -s to them.
