Question : Fill in the blanks in the following sentences with the help of the options that follow.
She began to tell him _______about her college project.
Option 1: little
Option 2: the few
Option 3: a little
Option 4: a few
Correct Answer:
a little
Solution : The correct answer is option 3.
She began to tell him a little about her college project.
Explanation:
Let's examine how the following adjectives differ:
- Little-very little- hardly any (In a negative context)
- A little-somewhat - but not significantly.
- The little is all that is available, though it is not much.
- A few- used to highlight just how little a number is.
These adjectives are all used with singular nouns that are not countable.
Project
is a singular, uncountable noun, so the word "a little" will be used in the sentence's blank.
