Many, much, and more

Here's a question that popped up on tw.bbs

> 以下這句為何不能選 B, C, 或D呢?

> How many _________ did your mother buy this morning?
> A) fish B) meat C) tomatos D) glass

> 答案是A, why?

meat -> much, not many
tomatoes, not tomatos
glasses, not glass

fish is correct because the plural of fish is still fish.
