Answer Explanations
Question 1 Explanation
The correct answer is too. We use too before an adjective when something is more than suitable or more than possible. In this sentence, the box is bigger than the space in the bag. The phrase “to fit in my bag” shows the negative result.
Question 2 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough before nouns when we mean a sufficient number or amount. “Chairs” is a plural countable noun, and the sentence means that there are chairs for all people. The phrase “for everyone” shows that the number is sufficient.
Question 3 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough after adjectives to show that something reaches the needed level. In this sentence, the phone is not cheap enough, so the speaker cannot buy it. The negative form “not” shows that the price is still too high for the speaker.
Question 4 Explanation
The correct answer is too. The structure too many is used with plural countable nouns when the number is excessive. “Cars” is a plural countable noun, so this structure is correct. The sentence means that the number of cars on the road is more than normal or comfortable.
Question 5 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough after adjectives when something is suitable for a purpose. “Warm enough” means the water has a suitable temperature. The phrase “for swimming” explains what the water is suitable for.
