I'm sorry I can't give you any of the oranges. I have ____________ left.
A. few B. little C. only a little D. a few
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Since orange is a countable noun. - little is therefore not correct. The right answer toggles between 'few' and "a few". The two are both used with plural nouns. Few means "not many' while a few means 'small number'. They appear to be interlaced: but they are quite different. "A few" is more than 'few'. I need two hundred oranges and I have one hundred and ninety eight: then I can say I have a few oranges. If I need two hundred oranges and have only five: I have few oranges.ew also means 'so small that nothing can be given out .
