Answer:
You don't need to go to the market to buy milk as there is a little milk in the fridge. It is enough for making two cups.
The given sentence is incomplete but we can decipher from the context that it needs a quantifier in it.
Explanation:
- As we know, adverb of degree plays the role of a quantifier in different aspects.
- There are many adverbs of degree, the major ones are - almost, barely, entirely, highly, quite, slightly, totally, utterly, too, few, a few, little, a little, etc.
- Consequently, the only adverb that goes with the context is 'little/a little' because 'few' is used with solid objects but milk is liquid.
- Between 'little' and 'a little' we know that little means 'hardly anything' while a little means 'some'.
Hence, 'a little' would be applied in the sentence because there is 'some' milk left which is enough for two cups.
