From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:

The cook had ..........oil and so could not prepare the soup

Answer Details

The best option to complete the sentence is "little". "Little" means a small amount, which indicates that the cook had a very small amount of oil, not enough to prepare the soup. The other options don't fit well in the context of the sentence. "Small" means little in size, "some" means an unspecified quantity, and "much" means a large amount, and they don't convey the same meaning as "little" in this context.
