Solution (By Examveda Team)

This question tests your understanding of quantifiers – words that describe quantity.
The sentence requires a quantifier that works with uncountable nouns or plural countable nouns. "Dress," in this context, refers to a selection of dresses, making it plural.
Let's examine each option:
A. much: "Much" is used with uncountable nouns (e.g., much water, much sugar). Dresses are countable, so "much" is incorrect.
B. more: "More" is the comparative form of "many" or "much." It implies a comparison. The sentence doesn't offer a comparison, so "more" isn't appropriate. It would need a second element for comparison (e.g., "You can pick more dresses than me").
C. either: "Either" indicates a choice between two options. The sentence doesn't present two specific dresses to choose from. It implies a selection from a group.
D. some: "Some" is a quantifier used with both countable and uncountable nouns. It indicates an unspecified quantity but more than zero. In this case, "some dresses" perfectly fits the sentence's meaning, suggesting a choice from several dresses.
Therefore, "some" is the most grammatically correct and contextually appropriate option.
