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.
