Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the given options:

He had _____ friends as he was an aggressive person.

• A. few
• B. some
• C. many
• D. those

Answer 1

The correct option is A few

It is important to note that "friends" is a countable noun.

Going by the above explanation, option B is incorrect as "some" is used for uncountable nouns.

Option A is correct as the word "few" is used with countable nouns. It means "not many" and this option suits the sentence since aggressiveness is not an appealing trait that would attract people.

Option C is incorrect as "many" is the opposite of "few" and it would not make sense to say that an aggressive person would have many friends.

Option D is incorrect as the options makes no sense. "Those" is a very vague term and makes the sentence sound incomplete.
