Question:

Select the most more appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Sometimes she put __________ salt in my vegetables.

Options:

a little

a few

many

much

Correct Answer:

a little

Explanation:

Sometimes she put a little salt in my vegetables.

Explanation:

  • A little: This phrase indicates a small quantity of something, which is appropriate for describing the amount of salt being added to the vegetables.
  • A few: This phrase is used for countable items, whereas "salt" in this context is not countable, so it's not the best fit.
  • Many: This word suggests a large number or quantity, which doesn't fit the context of adding salt to vegetables.
  • Much: This word is used for uncountable quantities, but "much salt" would not be idiomatic in this context. "A little salt" is a more appropriate choice.
