Select the correct determiner from the options given below:
__________ help that they gave us is praiseworthy.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) - The little
- "The little help that they gave us" emphasizes the small amount of help that was provided, making it sound more significant and praiseworthy.
- The other options do not fit as well:
- "The few" typically refers to countable nouns (e.g., few people).
- "Much" is usually used in negative or interrogative sentences.
- "Little" without "the" conveys a negative connotation, suggesting a lack of help rather than praising it.
