It's raining cats and dogs. So there are _ cars on the road today.
Correct answer: A. Few
- A. Few
- B. A few
- C. A big number of
- D. A great deal of
Explanation
Few means "not many (people or things)."A few means "some (people or things)." Few cars" would imply almost no cars. 'A few cars' suggests there are not very many cars. So the first is a comparison, while the second is a quantity. Since we are comparing the number of cars on the road when it is raining with when it is not, we would use "few cars" hence the correct answer is A whereas options C and D are not logically correct because on rainy days we don't see many cars.
