Correct Answer: a few water


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

The error lies in the phrase "a few water". The word "water" is an uncountable noun, and when referring to an indefinite amount, we should use the quantifier "little". "Little" is appropriate for uncountable nouns, indicating a small or unspecified amount.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: There is a little water in the bowl on the table.
