choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
To avoid trouble, it is best to say very_________on the case.
Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "little."
The word "little" means "not much" or "hardly at all," which is appropriate in the context of the sentence. To avoid trouble, it is best to say very little on the case, meaning that it is better to say as little as possible to avoid getting into trouble.
The other options do not fit grammatically or logically with the sentence. "Less" means a smaller amount of something, but it does not make sense to say "very less" in this context. "Few" is used to describe countable objects, whereas the sentence is referring to something that cannot be counted. "Small" refers to size, which does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
