Correct Answer: handful


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation:

It means a small number of something that can be held in one's hand. In the context of friendships, it implies having a small, but good, group of friends.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Pocketful: It refers to a small amount of something that can fit in a pocket.
  • Bagful: It refers to a larger quantity. It suggests a larger group of friends, which is not the intended meaning of the sentence.
  • Mindful: It means being attentive or conscious of something.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: I have been fortunate to find a handful of people who I can call true friends.
