Choose the correct quantifier. There was _______ rain in the days after the earthquake.

The correct quantifier to use in this sentence is 'a great deal of'. Therefore, the correct answer is: There was a great deal of rain in the days after the earthquake. Explanation: * 'Many' is used with countable nouns (e.g., 'many cars'). 'Rain' is an uncountable noun. * 'A couple of' means 'two', which doesn't fit the context of a large amount of rain. * 'Several' implies more than two but still a limited number. 'A great deal of' indicates a large quantity of something uncountable, like rain.
