Hello,

The term "many"? Very vague, unfortunately. Maybe more than "few" (which is also a vague term), but "many" doesn't equal "most".
E.g., there may be many clowns in Manhattan--say, 10,000--, but can you say most people in Manhattan wear clown suits and work at the circus? Probably not.
So, "many" and "few" are often wrong answers--though in, say, parallel questions, the stimulus may have "many", so the right answer choice might need "many" too.

I hope that helps. Thanks!
