Can I borrow . . . . . . . . sugar? A. much B. some C. a little D. a few

much
some
a little
a few

The correct answer is: C. a little

  • Much is used to refer to a large amount of something.
  • Some is used to refer to an indefinite or unspecified amount of something.
  • A little is used to refer to a small amount of something.
  • A few is used to refer to a small number of something.

In the context of the question, “Can I borrow a little sugar?”, the speaker is asking for a small amount of sugar. This is evident from the fact that they are using the word “little”, which is used to refer to a small amount of something. The other options, “much”, “some”, and “a few”, are not appropriate in this context because they do not refer to a small amount of something.
