Answer 2

Can you lend me a few books? -This is the correct answer.

Explanation:

• We have to find out the correct form of 'few' to be used here.
• The word 'few' means 'no/ nil/nothing'. So we cannot say 'Can you lend me few books?'. It means asking for no books for lending. Hence it is wrong here.
• The words 'the few' means that there is something less and we are talking about that particular less amount. So it is inappropriate to say 'the few books
• 'A few' means 'some' . This is the correct answer.
• Therefore the answer is: Can you lend me a few books?
