Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option :
There isn't________water in the glass. It's empty.
Answer: A
The blank takes much: 'There isn't much water in the glass.'
'Water' is an uncountable noun, and in negative sentences and questions the quantifier used with an uncountable noun is much. The next sentence, 'It's empty', confirms the meaning of very little or none.
'Few' is used with plural countable nouns (few glasses), not with water. 'Some' is normally used in positive statements; a negative sentence takes 'any' or 'much'. 'Either' refers to one of two things and makes no sense before 'water' here.
