Question 1 / 3
1:00
1
Only ...... reference works possess the value of Encyclopedia Brittanica.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: The sentence implies that there are very few, almost no, other reference works as valuable as Encyclopedia Brittanica. Step 2: The blank requires a quantifier that conveys this sense of scarcity or rarity, emphasizing a negative or restrictive quantity. Step 3: Evaluate the options: 'A few', 'Few', 'The few', 'Fewer'. Step 4: 'A few' means some, a small number (positive connotation). 'The few' refers to a specific small number already known. 'Fewer' is a comparative quantifier. Step 5: 'Few' (without 'a') means almost none or not many, conveying a negative or restrictive sense, which fits the implied uniqueness and high value of Encyclopedia Brittanica. Step 6: Therefore, 'Few' is the correct quantifier.

0:00
Solution: Step 1: Consider the options which include specific numbers and general quantifiers. Step 2: 'Two', 'five' are specific cardinal numbers. 'Few' and 'couple' indicate small, unspecified quantities. Step 3: Without context, choosing a specific number like 'five' implies that the sentence required an exact count. Step 4: Based on this inference, 'five' is the chosen correct answer.

0:00
Solution: Step 1: Evaluate the options: 'many', 'more', 'few', 'less'. These are quantifiers, with 'more' being a comparative form. Step 2: 'More' is used to indicate a greater quantity or degree when comparing or adding to something. Step 3: In many sentences, a comparative quantifier like 'more' is used to indicate an increase or comparison. Step 4: Therefore, 'more' is deemed the correct answer based on common grammatical patterns.
