Hints for this Quiz
Think: the stadium is “always full”. It’s not “a few” and not “too many”, but “a lot”.
Choose the most natural quantifier.
Correct: "un montón de" = a lot / loads of (colloquial, emotional). In Spain "la afición" often fills the stadiums and many people go to the ground or watch the match in a bar, so the context supports the idea of “a lot of fans”.
If they say “buy now”, there are only a few tickets left.
Think about the sense of urgency.
"Pocas entradas" = few tickets. The phrase "compra ya" makes sense when there is a shortage. "Bastantes" = quite a lot, "un montón de" = loads of; "demasiadas" = too many.
"Bastante" often means “quite / enough” in a neutral sense.
Neutral, without exaggeration.
"Bastante gente" = quite a lot of people (neutral, without the nuance of “too many”). "Demasiada" already expresses the opinion “too many”, and "mucha" is stronger in tone.
A word that includes the idea of “too many”.
Read the clue about the wardrobe.
"Demasiadas" = too many (an excess). Clue: "armario está lleno". "Muchas/bastantes" = many / quite a lot, without the idea of “too many”.
With adjectives, "bastante" does not change for singular/plural.
Look at the adjective "caras".
"Bastante" + adjective: invariable → "bastante caras" = quite/pretty expensive. With nouns, "bastante(s)" agrees in number: bastante café / bastantes entradas.
A neutral “many”, without the emotion of “loads” or the judgment “too many”.
Think of a supporters’ club.
The most neutral option is "hay muchos socios". A "peña" is an official supporters’ club (fan association), and they are often large.
