Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
The guest stood quietly for (few) moments.
(1) a few moments
(2) the few moments
(3) few time
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The determiner "few" should be replaced with a few to make the sentence grammatically correct. The quantifier "a few" is used to indicate a small, indefinite quantity, but it is greater than "few".
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The guest stood quietly for a few moments. "
