Correct Answer: A few


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The phrase a few is the correct choice in this context. It indicates a small, indefinite number of months and is appropriate for expressing the idea that Steve returned to New York after a short period of time.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Few refers to a small number, indicating a scarcity or insufficiency.

  • The few refers to a specific small number, often implying exclusivity or rarity.

  • A little refers to a small amount, used for uncountable quantities such as time, money, or patience.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: A few months later, Steve returned to New York to look for a job.
