Question

• B. time
• C. some a time
• D. a time some

Answer 1

Answer:

A. some time

• This question tests your understanding of quantifiers and noun phrases. The Problem: The phrase "few some time" is grammatically incorrect because "few" and "some" are both quantifiers that cannot be used together in this manner. Furthermore, "few" is used with countable nouns (like few hours), while "time" (in this context) is an uncountable noun. The Logic: "Some time" is the standard way to indicate an unspecified amount of time. "Quite some time" is a very common English idiom meaning "a long time" or "a significant amount of time."
