Câu: '...and (35) ______ governments offer tax incentives to spur wind-energy development.' Danh từ 'governments' là danh từ đếm được số nhiều, nên cần lượng từ 'many' (many governments = nhiều chính phủ). 'Lots' cần 'of' (lots of), 'much' chỉ dùng với danh từ không đếm được, 'a lot' cần 'of' và không đứng trực tiếp trước danh từ. Đáp án khớp với đáp án nguồn: A. many (đáp án được tô vàng trong nguồn, trang 3).
