Many things sold at auction (4)
I believe the answer is:
lots
This might be a double definition.
'many' is the first definition.
(lots of something)
'sold at auction' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'things' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lots that I've seen before include "Items offered at auction" , "Tons" , "Large numbers at auction" , "a crowd?" , "A great deal" .)
