We use ‘many’ that means ‘a large number of’ with plural nouns (I don’t have many dresses.).We use the quantifier ‘any’ in questions and negatives to mean ‘some’: Did you buy any butter?; We haven’t got any eggs.We use ‘any’ to mean ‘it does not matter which or what’ to describe something which is not limited:You can choose any colours you want.; She refused to answer any questions. We use this meaning of ‘any’ with all types of nouns and usually in affirmative sentences.In the test sentence He eats _______ sweets every day. we need to choose a quantifier for the countable noun ‘sweets’. Therefore, from the test variants we can choose ANSWER 1 (many) andANSWER 4 (any).
