    Question

    Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully.
    (Much times) I have felt that conversations like these must take place in person.

    A.

    Many time

    B.

    No correction required

    C.

    Many a times

    D.

    Many a time

    Correct option is D

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) Many a time.
    Explanation: “Much times” is incorrect because “much” is used with uncountable nouns, while “times” is a countable noun. The correct idiomatic phrase is “many a time”, which means “very often” or “on many occasions.”
    Grammatical rule used:
    · “Many a + singular noun” is a formal and poetic structure used to express frequency or emphasize a large number.
    · Example: Many a time, I’ve warned him about his behavior.
    Information Booster:
    “Many a time” takes a singular verb though it refers to multiple times.
