Correct Answer: a few


Solution : The right option is the first option .

Explanation : "More than just a few grams a day" is a phrase where a few functions as a determiner. It means that the quantity of grams per day is not merely a small or negligible amount but exceeds that, suggesting a moderate or notable quantity. The phrase emphasises that it's more than what might be considered a minimal or trivial quantity.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be, "More than just a few grams a day."
