. . . . . dogs can make friendship with cats.

A. Few

B. A few

C. Little

D. A little

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Understanding the Options:
* Few: This means *almost none* or *very few*, and it often implies a negative feeling.
* A few: This means *some* or *a small number*, and it has a more positive connotation.
* Little: This refers to an *amount* of something uncountable, like "little water" or "little time." We use it for things we can't count individually.
* A little: Similar to "little," this refers to a *small amount* of something uncountable.

Why other options are incorrect:
* Little and A little are wrong because we're talking about dogs, which are countable.
* Few is technically grammatically correct, but it suggests it's rare for dogs to befriend cats, which doesn't fit the usual meaning.

Why "A few" is the Best Answer:
* A few indicates that *some* dogs can be friends with cats. It's a reasonable and more positive statement.

So, the correct answer is B: A few because it is used to express some and also can be use with the count nouns.

    Just keep in mind
    Few and little are quintifier
    We use few for countable plural nouns.
    We use little for uncountable singular noun.
    Article 'a' is used typically when we differentiate from given things.
