Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

" More " changes the meaning of the sentence. It would suggest that he did give some books.

" Much " is used to refer to quantity in the context of uncountable nouns, but not with countable nouns like " books" .

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "He did not give me any books."
