| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Nani shared the few biscuits that were left in the tin with the neighbour’s children. | (III) the few | The few means all of the small number there is. “That were left in the tin” points to those biscuits. |
| (B) There were too many passengers in the general coach, so Arjun stood near the door all night. | (I) too many | Too many means more than is needed. It goes with countable plural nouns like “passengers”. |
| (C) The first chapati got burnt, so Didi quickly rolled out another one. | (IV) another | Another means one more. It comes before a singular word, here “one”. |
| (D) Because of the bus strike, only half the students came to school today. | (II) half | Half can come before “the” and a noun (half the students). None of the other words can. |
