[amp_mcq option1=”Very little” option2=”The little” option3=”A little” option4=”No improvement.” correct=”option4″]
The correct answer is D. No improvement.
The sentence “Little that I knew of the English language, was not sufficient to make me a teacher of English” is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning. The word “little” is used to modify the noun “knowledge,” and the phrase “that I knew of the English language” is a restrictive clause that provides additional information about the knowledge that the speaker is referring to. The verb “was” is in the past tense, which is consistent with the context of the sentence, which is about the speaker’s past experience. The sentence ends with the phrase “was not sufficient to make me a teacher of English,” which states that the speaker’s knowledge of English was not enough to qualify them to be a teacher of English.
The other options are not as effective as the original sentence. Option A, “Very little,” is too strong. It implies that the speaker knew almost nothing about the English language, which is not necessarily the case. Option B, “The little,” is too formal. It is more likely to be used in academic writing than in everyday speech. Option C, “A little,” is the weakest option. It does not convey the speaker’s lack of knowledge as effectively as the original sentence.
