    Question

    Each of the following sentences in this section has a blank space and is followed by four choices. Select the most appropriate choice to fill in the blank.
    __________then a hundred passengers were killed in the recent train accident.

    A.

    Less

    B.

    No less

    C.

    Fewest

    D.

    No fewer

    Correct option is D


    "No fewer" is used with countable nouns, and "passengers" is a countable noun. The phrase "no fewer than" correctly quantifies specific countable items or individuals, making it the appropriate choice over "less," which is used for uncountable quantities.
