Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option " a few".
It accurately conveys that only a small number of students participated in the celebration, which is the intended meaning.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- "Constricted" means restricted or narrowed, and it doesn't fit the context of describing the number of students.
- "Little" generally refers to a small amount or quantity, not the number of people.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "Only a few students participated in the 15th August celebration at school".
