We don't have much left???

Please look at this question.

(Q) Applications for Editorial opened last month and we do not have ____ left.
(a) much (b) few (c) many (d) some

The correct answer is (a) much. I wanted to choose "any" but there was no "any".
That's why I chose (c) many because I think the company now does not have any editorial position left.
I think we can count the number of job positions, and even those of vacancies. Why is it "(a) much"?

Thank you for your answer in advance.

I’m a little confused: shouldn’t applications be positions ? In any case, only many works.

There was no a word "position" in the question. I just think since they have had applications from candidates last month, there should be no vacancy. I will check once again which answer the workbook containing that question says is correct.

Perhaps, does the sentence "we don't have much left" means "we don't have much time left"?

Well, I’ve never heard of an application opening. I don’t understand the sentence.

I think since a native speaker like you feels this question a little odd, I will abandon it as the wrong question. Thank you for your answers,Mr.Aspara Gus
