I don't think much of sth. means that you don't consider it as sth. valuable. It doesn't mean that you think a lot about it.
How did you find the last movie by Tarantino??
Well, I don't think much of it.

Only answer D makes sense in relation to the rest of the sentence, even though all 4 answers are grammatically possible. 'He' did something bad to his family, therefore the answer should reflect the speaker's dislike of him.

Hi MM
Just a minor point:
Don't y'all thank the title of this thread sounds like it's trying to imitate a southern drawl? :lol: :wink:

Not no moah it doan'.
(To whomever it may interest: one strategy is to leave typos in thread posts and titles. Search engines are more likely to hit on your site if you have a range of spellings-- 'grammar', 'grammer', 'gramer', etc.)

......... now that I've heard what he has done to his family.
How do we know that above part of the sentence has a negative meaning -that he has done sth bad to his family? I think it can be the positive meaning as well - he has done sth good to his family? And with the positive meaning could match: I think a lot of him, for me..
What do you think?
Thanks.. |

The key is 'done to his family, which means a bad thing. If it were a good thing, we would use 'done for his family'.
