Correct Answer: some


Solution : The correct word to fill in the blank is the second option .

The sentence is about asking for permission to offer a certain amount of advice. The word some is used as a determiner for unspecified quantity, in this case, it is advice, which cannot be measured.

Moreover, one cannot be used as advice is an uncountable noun and little means negligible which does not fit in the context. These options are grammatically incorrect and they do not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "May I give you some advice?"
