the few
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: C. a few
- A. a little is incorrect because it means “a small amount”. In this context, we are looking for a word that means “a small number”.
- B. few is incorrect because it means “not many”. In this context, we are looking for a word that means “a small number, but more than one”.
- D. the few is incorrect because it means “a small number of people or things that are considered to be the best or most important”. In this context, we are not looking for a word that means “the best or most important”, but simply a word that means “a small number”.
The word “a few” is the best answer because it means “a small number, but more than one”. This is the most accurate way to describe the number of supporters of the proposal in the Parliament.
