Answer:B
Choose the correct statement:
A. The fire caused many damages. B. The fire caused much damage. C. The fire caused many damage. D. The fire caused much damages.
Explanation: The correct statement is: The fire caused much damage. In this scenario, the word ‘damages’ can’t be used as it denoted the money paid to make good or loss for a ‘damage’. The word ‘damage’ is used in this situation, and it isn’t a word that can be preceded by ‘many’, as it isn’t a countable quantity which can be represented by a definite number. So, it should be preceded by ‘much’.
