Concept Detail (Question:1093082.0)

Hi, can anyone explain the mentioned concept in detail?

Question:

In each of the questions below, a sentence is given with one part in brackets. Select the option that provides the correct replacement for the part in brackets. In case of no improvement needed, choose Option D.


In his youth, he had ridden through many places, and fought (many battle).

Options:
A)

many a battles

B)

a many battles

C)

many a battle

D)

No Improvement

Solution:

Ans: (c) 

The correct phrases that can be used here are: many + battles (plural noun) or many + a + battle (singular noun).


In other words, 'many a' is followed by a singular countable noun and takes a singular verb with it. Therefore,, it is appropriately phrased as 'many a battle'.

C is the right answer.
