He has been seriously injured. There is . . . . . . . hope for his survival.

1. The word "little" is used to indicate a very small or negligible amount, often implying something is almost non-existent.

2. In the given sentence, the context suggests that there is almost no hope for his survival, so "little" is the correct choice.

3. The other options do not fit the context appropriately:

- "a little" means some amount, which would contradict the severity implied in the sentence.

- "a few" and "few" are used with countable nouns, while "hope" is uncountable.

Thus, the correct sentence is: "There is little hope for his survival."
