Question : Directions: In the following question, the sentence given with a blank is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four.
Anna is not popular. She has__ friends.
Option 1: A few
Option 2: Few
Option 3: A little
Option 4: Little
Correct Answer: Few
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
"Few'' is used to indicate a small number of something, often implying scarcity, and in this case, "few" fits perfectly in the sentence, as the sentence has a negative connotation to it.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- "A few" also means less in quantity, but is used in positive cases as it implies sufficiency, which is not the intended meaning of the sentence.
- "Little" and "a little" are used for quatites that are not countable in nature and hence are not correct to use in this sentence.
Therefore, the complete sentence is "Anna is not popular, she has few friends".
