Fill in the Blanks with Correct Quantifiers

Hi Elif, let's solve this grammar question together. This question focuses on quantifiers and the logical structure of a sentence.

First, let's look at the structure of the sentence. It starts with the conjunction although, which indicates a contrast between two clauses.

The first part says that some number of novel beverages have offered measurable wellness benefits. This is a positive statement.

The second part says that a certain number of them are considered questionable because of ingredient loads that cause metabolic disruptions. This is a negative statement.

Now let's examine the options for the first blank which modifies novel beverages. Since beverages is a plural countable noun, we need a quantifier that fits.

Option C uses much, which is only for uncountable nouns. So we can immediately eliminate option C.

Now let's look at the second blank, of them. This refers back to the beverages. Let's test the logic for the remaining pairs.
