Preview: Explanations

1."too"(b)

Use 'too + adjective + for someone + to-infinitive'. The child couldn't finish even the first step, so the puzzle was more difficult than she could manage. 'Very' would just mean 'extremely' without implying impossibility.

2."enough"(d)

'Enough' is used as a pronoun meaning 'a sufficient amount'. The speaker is asking whether the other person has had sufficient food.

3."too"(a)

Use 'too many' before countable plural nouns to mean 'more than necessary'. 'Too many cars' = an excessive number of cars.

4."enough"(d)

Use 'adjective + enough + for someone + to-infinitive'. The font is sufficiently large for the grandfather.

5."Not enough"(b)

'Not enough of + determiner + noun' means an insufficient number. The teacher was disappointed because the number of students who passed was insufficient. 'Too much' and 'Very much' are wrong because 'students' is countable.
