Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option.
The word little is used correctly to indicate a small amount of something.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:

- Less is the comparative form of "little," and it is used to compare two quantities.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: There are so many claims on the reader's attention that it is no wonder he is left with little power of discernment.
