This backpack is heavy because there are_____books and a dictionary in it.

a) a few
b) a little
c) few
d) little
e) much

Answer 1

a. a few é a resposta correta

Answer 2

The correct answer for me is a).

It can't be b), d) or e) because they are not specific about netiher the quantity or the approximate amount of books in the backpack.

It can't be c) because few without the "a" express some quantity, but no assurance about how many it might be.
