Correct the underlined part of the sentence.
They have a few juice in the jar.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. little.
Error concept: Wrong quantifier used.
What is wrong: The sentence uses “a few” with juice, which is incorrect. “A few” is used for countable nouns, but juice is an uncountable noun.
Grammatical concept:
-
Use little / a little / the little with uncountable nouns.
-
Use few / a few / the few with countable nouns.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Since juice cannot be counted, “a few” is grammatically wrong.
How to correct: Replace “a few” with “little.”
Correct phrase/ correction: little
Final sentence: They have little juice in the jar.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
