Explanation and Step-by-Step Solution:
To solve this exercise, we need to match the sentences in column A with appropriate responses from column B using "A few" or "A little". Let's go through each sentence:
a) The question asks if the person wants any sugar in their coffee. Since "sugar" can be considered a countable noun, we use "A little" which means a small amount.
b) The question asks if the person wants mustard in their hamburger. Again, "mustard" can be considered a countable noun, so we use "A little" to indicate a small amount.
c) The question asks about the amount of money the person has. We can assume money is uncountable, so we use "A little" to indicate a small amount.
d) The question asks if the person can stay for a bit longer. Since "time" can be considered uncountable, we use "A few" which means a short period of time.
e) The question asks if the person found any dresses they liked. "Dresses" can be considered countable, so we use "A few" which indicates a small number.
1) The question asks if there is any milk left. We can assume milk is uncountable, so we use "A little" to indicate a small amount remaining.
g) The question asks if there are any apples in the fridge. "Apples" can be counted, so we use "A few" to indicate a small number.
h) The question asks how many sandwiches should be made for the picnic. The response indicates "A few", which means a small number of sandwiches should be made.
By matching the sentences and responses appropriately, we can ensure that the meaning of the conversation is clear and understandable to the student.
