Question

There were quite ________ pigs on the farm and they were very cute.

A. little    B. a little    C. a few    D. some

Answer

C

【解析】句意：农场里有很多猪，他们非常可爱。little少的，修饰不可数名词；a little一点，修饰不可数名词；a few一点，修饰可数名词；some一些，修饰可数或者不可数名词。空后的名词pigs是可数名词复数，故先排除A和B。空前有副词quite，意思是“相当，很”，不修饰some。quite a few是固定短语，不少，相当多的。故选C。
