Unlike other metals it won't discolour and it can be shaped easily into beautiful jewellery. It also has some _______ practical uses than this.

• A. More
• B. Fewer
• C. Many
• D. Some

Answer: (A)

This item tests how to express an added amount using a comparative after “some.” The sentence wants to say there are additional practical uses beyond those already mentioned, so the natural completion is “some more practical uses than this.” “More” is the standard way to increase the number of countable things like uses. Using “fewer” would suggest a decrease, which isn’t the intended idea here; “many” wouldn’t fit with the comparative structure after “some,” and “some” alone wouldn’t supply the needed comparative meaning.
