Multiple choice

There are ___ books on my desk.

  1. little

  2. a little

  3. a few
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

'Books' is a countable noun, so we must use 'a few' (option C) which means 'some small number'. 'Little' and 'a little' are used with uncountable nouns (like water, money). 'A few books' correctly indicates that there are some books on the desk.
