A little
A few
Much
How many
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: A few.
A few means a small number of things. In this case, it is referring to the number of alphabets that are readable in the book. The other options are not correct because they do not refer to a small number of things.
- A little means a small amount of something. In this case, it would not be correct to say that there is a small amount of alphabets in the book, because there are many alphabets in a book.
- Much means a large amount of something. In this case, it would not be correct to say that there is a large amount of alphabets in the book, because there are only a few alphabets that are readable.
- How many means the number of something. In this case, it would not be correct to ask how many alphabets are in the book, because the question is asking about the number of alphabets that are readable, not the total number of alphabets.
