Question

3. He invited some classmates to come to his party,but       came.

   A. a little   B. little

   C. a few   D. few

Answer 1

3. D 

a little和little修飾不可數(shù)名詞，a few和few修飾可數(shù)名詞；a little和a few表本肯定，little和few表示否定；根據(jù)but 可判斷前后分句之間為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，前半句為肯定句，所以后半句應(yīng)該為否定句，而修飾classmates需要用few,所以選擇答案D。
