Grammar: Determiner

Question:

Complete the following sentence using the correct Determiner.

There is ____ water left, so drink only if you must.

Options:

little

some

few

much

Correct Answer:

little

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → little

Here's why:

Little indicates a small amount, which is perfect for the context of there not being much water left.

Some can be used for indefinite amounts, but it doesn't necessarily imply scarcity like "little" does in this case.

Few is generally used for countable nouns, and water is an uncountable noun. It also suggests a very small number, which might not be suitable depending on how much water is remaining.

Much is used for positive or large quantities, which wouldn't be appropriate since there's not much water left.
