In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fills(s) the gap(s):
The Board has been having _____ series of meeting lately
Answer Details
The correct option to fill the blank is "a."
The word "series" is singular, so we need a singular determiner. Option A, "some," is incorrect because it is not specific enough to convey the intended meaning. Option C, "a lot of," and option D, "many," both indicate a large quantity, which is not necessarily what is being conveyed in the sentence.
Option B, "a," is the correct singular determiner to use in this context. It indicates that the Board has been having one series of meetings, but does not indicate how many meetings are in the series or how frequently they are being held.
