[#166] . . . . . know computer operating among us.
Correct Answer

(C) A few

Explanation

Solution: The correct sentence is: " A few know computer operating among us." The phrase " A few " is used with countable nouns and means a small number of people in this context. Since "people" is implied in the sentence, this choice correctly quantifies the number of people who know computer operating. Option A: " A little " is incorrect because it is used with uncountable nouns, not countable ones like "people." Option B: " Jayesh " is a name and not a quantifier, making it incorrect. Option D: " One of " is grammatically correct but refers to a single person within a group, which does not match the intended meaning of multiple people knowing computer operating. Thus, the best choice is Option C: A few .

[#167] . . . . . . does sir ask a question than clever students give an answer.
Correct Answer

(D) No sooner

Explanation

Solution: Correct Answer: D) No sooner Here's why: This question tests your knowledge of correlative conjunctions . No sooner...than is a special structure used to show that one thing happens immediately after another. Let's break down why the other options are incorrect: A) When: While "when" can introduce a clause, it doesn't create the necessary sense of immediacy like "no sooner...than." B) Hardly had: "Hardly had" is also a valid construction, but it's paired with "when" (Hardly had...when), not "than." So, the structure is incorrect. C) As soon as: "As soon as" works but it is often paired with a simple past tense in both clauses to indicate immediacy, but the sentence structure requires No sooner . D) No sooner: This is the correct option because it completes the correlative pair "no sooner...than." It creates a clear and grammatically correct sentence showing that the students answered almost immediately after the sir asked a question. Therefore, the complete sentence is: " No sooner does sir ask a question than clever students give an answer."

[#168] . . . . . dogs can make friendship with cats.
Correct Answer

(B) A few

Explanation

Solution: Understanding the Options: * Few: This means *almost none* or *very few*, and it often implies a negative feeling. * A few: This means *some* or *a small number*, and it has a more positive connotation. * Little: This refers to an *amount* of something uncountable, like "little water" or "little time." We use it for things we can't count individually. * A little: Similar to "little," this refers to a *small amount* of something uncountable. Why other options are incorrect: * Little and A little are wrong because we're talking about dogs , which are countable. * Few is technically grammatically correct, but it suggests it's rare for dogs to befriend cats, which doesn't fit the usual meaning. Why "A few" is the Best Answer: * A few indicates that *some* dogs can be friends with cats. It's a reasonable and more positive statement. So, the correct answer is B: A few because it is used to express some and also can be use with the count nouns.
