Multiple choice softskills communication

You are going on a short tour of North-East India. Your folks ask you how you would manage there. You want to tell them that you would be fine because you have some friends from your college days who you will be staying with. So you tell your folks:

  1. Don’t worry. I have a few friends there.

  2. Don’t worry. I will have some friends there.

  3. Don’t worry. I am having some friends there.

  4. Don’t worry. I have few friends there.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is A because 'a few friends' means some friends (positive meaning), which fits the context of having college friends to stay with. Option D says 'few friends' which means hardly any friends (negative meaning), contradicting the reassuring context. Option B uses 'will have' (future tense) incorrectly because the friends already exist. Option C uses 'am having' (present continuous) which is not used for stating possession.
