Question

Complete the collocation words ________ Percentage.

• A. huge
• B. big
• C. more
• D. large

Hint:

Think of the phrase used in survey reports, such as in "a ________ percentage of the population".

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

This question rewards knowing which size word English speakers habitually place in front of "percentage", regardless of which word seems closest in meaning.

1. huge: This adjective usually attaches to margin, gap, or crowd, and rarely to percentage in standard writing.
2. big: This is a casual, spoken register word, and formal or written English favors a different adjective before percentage.
3. more: This word needs a comparison point (more than X) and cannot stand alone before "percentage" as a plain descriptor.
4. large: You see "a large percentage of students" or "a large percentage of the population" constantly in reports and surveys, which confirms this as the fixed phrase.

So option D, large, is correct.
