'very' is used in present continuous & in positive degree and 'much' is used in past indefinite & in comparative terms, and so A OPTION is correct, but option C IS WRONG.

Can we use MUCH & VERY at a time? Like, I am very much impressed by your actions. Is this sentence correct?

PREM said:   1 decade ago
Much refers "quantity" and very refers "precisely so".

Pleased refers feelings and it can't be measured.

Ehtasham said:   1 decade ago
Much express quantity.
Many express number.

Less denotes quantity in small degree.
Fewer denotes number.

As pleasing means it's a kind request. Then what is the difference between pleased and very pleased.

It is correct, but when you use both then the verb must be in 3rd form like impressed.

Much is used with past participle. Hence D should be the answer.

Varsha chauhan said:   9 years ago
It should be "that you had topped the list".
