Correct Answer: I ate a few


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The error is in the use of a few , as it should be replaced with some to make the sentence grammatically accurate. This is because rice is an uncountable noun, and few is used in the case of countable nouns.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I ate some brown rice this morning.
