[amp_mcq option1=”little” option2=”lesser” option3=”fewer” option4=”No improvement” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is C. fewer.<\/p>\n

The word “less” is used to compare two things that are of the same kind. For example, “I have less money than you.” The word “fewer” is used to compare two things that are of different kinds. For example, “I have fewer friends than you.”<\/p>\n

In the sentence “The less chances you take, the greater your piece of mind will be,” the two things being compared are chances and piece of mind. Chances are of a different kind than piece of mind, so the correct word to use is “fewer.”<\/p>\n

The other options are incorrect because they do not make sense in the context of the sentence. The word “little” is not a comparative form, so it cannot be used to compare chances and piece of mind. The word “lesser” is a comparative form, but it is not the correct comparative form to use in this case. The word “no improvement” is incorrect because the sentence is already grammatically correct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
