Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

“Bulk” is used here to mean “the majority” or “most,” so you can use these words in this context as well. Ex: The bulk of this year’s traveling will take place on the roadways. Ex: The majority of cooking is done by my father. Ex: Most of this year’s donations came from corporations.
