Question

I have seen her ______ times this year, but not very often. Complete the sentence using the right.

• A. a little
• B. much
• C. a few
• D. many

Answer 1

Answer:

C. a few

• a little: This is used with uncountable nouns and does not fit the context of "times," which is countable.
• much: This is used with uncountable nouns and would not fit the context of "times," which is countable.
• a few: This is used with countable nouns and indicates a small number, which fits the context of "times."
• many: While "many" is also used with countable nouns, it indicates a large number, which contradicts "but not very often."
