  2. (b) much
  3. (c) many
  4. (d) anyCorrect answer

Solution.

Answer: (d) any

  1. “I don't want any more vegetables” naturally expresses refusal of further vegetables.
  2. Many more would mean not a large additional quantity and would allow some more; that is a different, less natural reading here.
