Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable determiner.
"I'd like to practise my English more, but I have ___________ opportunity," said Harshita.

• A. Few
• B. A few
• C. Little
• D. A little

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Little

"Little" is a quantifier which is generally used with single uncountable nouns in a negative sense to mean not as much as may be expected or a small amount but close to nothing while 'a little' means some. Since the sentence has a negative undertone, option C is the most apt answer, making option D incorrect.

'Few' and 'a few' are used with plural countable nouns. Since 'opportunity' is not a plural countable noun, options A and B are incorrect.
