Question

There was ____ milk in the bottle.

• A. litlle
• B. a little
• C. few
• D. a few

Answer 1

Answer:

B. a little

• "a little": Correct because "milk" is an uncountable noun (കണക്കാക്കാനാവാത്ത), and "a little" is used to describe a small amount of uncountable nouns (ചെറിയ അളവിലുള്ള എണ്ണമറ്റ നാമങ്ങളെ വിവരിക്കാൻ ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു).
• "little": Incorrect because "little" implies a smaller quantity than desired or needed, but it does not fit well with the article "was" in this context.
• "few": Incorrect because "few" is used with countable nouns (കണക്കാക്കാവുന്ന), not uncountable ones like "milk."
• "a few": Incorrect because "a few" is used with countable nouns (കണക്കാക്കാവുന്ന) and would not be appropriate here.
