SSC GD Constable (English) - 16 Jan 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q13

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

There is a few rice left in the cooker.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. little rice left in.

The option "little rice left in" is the most appropriate

It uses the term "little," which is suitable for describing an amount of something that is not large.

"Little" is used with uncountable nouns, and "rice" is indeed uncountable.

"Few" is used with countable nouns, thus it is wrong here.
