Question : Choose the appropriate determiner given in the options :
Shyam would like to have helped Rohan but he had ______ knowledge so he had to deny him.
Option 1: few
Option 2: plenty
Option 3: a little
Option 4: little
Correct Answer: little
Solution : The correct answer is option 4.
Shyam would like to have helped Rohan but he had ______ knowledge so he had to deny him.
Explanation:
Let's examine how the following adjectives differ:
- Little-hardly any. (used in a negative sense)
- A little-some but not much. (when used positively)
- The little that is available, though it is not much.
- These adjectives can all be applied to uncountable nouns.
- The word "little" will be used in the sentence's blank since "knowledge " is an uncountable noun and the subject is short on knowledge .
- So, based on the information provided, option 4 is the right response.
