I was also thinking zero, since, technically, there is no box.

That’s thinking outside the box, Jack.

I thought Gary might be correct with “one,” but that leads to incorrect word choice of “are.” It would have to read “is” instead. (But that’d make the quiz pretty easy.)

In a way, zero works too. There are no E’s in “this box”

It’s seven. There are already five in the box, add the two from seven and there you are.

If you consider e and E to be different, then “one” is a correct answer (and so is “THREE”).

If you put “four” in the blank, there are five E’s in the box, so that doesn’t work.

What about four?

I think I get it: the only number word that will make the sentence true is seven.

I have another answer: 5 (not FIVE, the word; 5, the number. That way, it doesn’t have any E’s in it!)
