Correct option is C
The word that can be filled in the blank is ‘little’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
· ‘Little’ is used with uncountable nouns to indicate a small amount. Grammatical rule involved:
‘Little’ indicates a small quantity and is used with uncountable nouns, signifying an insufficient amount.
· As per the context, the phrase ‘little energy’ implies that not much energy remains, which fits the meaning intended in the sentence, hence it is the correct option.
Meanings of other given words:
·
Few: This term is used with countable nouns and indicates a small number, which does not apply here as 'energy' is uncountable.
·
Many: This term is also used with countable nouns and indicates a large number, which contradicts the intended meaning.
·
Any: This term refers to an unspecified amount but does not convey the same context of scarcity as ‘little.’
· Thus, all the other given words have different meanings and do not fit in the context of the sentence.
