Answer
Many, few, a few, many
The correct answer is Many, few, a few, many — Option (c) correctly provides all four quantifiers.
Step-by-step solution
- Analyze the first blank: a large number of tourists visited; choose 'Many'.
- Second blank: few of them were satisfied; choose 'few'.
- Third blank: only a small number stayed for a full day; choose 'a few'.
- Fourth blank: many of the visitors gave feedback; choose 'many'.
- Option (c) correctly provides all four quantifiers.
