Answers
Answer:
The determiner, 'a few' means, 'not a large number'. It is used with countable nouns. However, in the given sentence, the noun, 'English' is a proper name and not countable. Hence, this determiner is not appropriate and option A is incorrect.
The determiner, 'a little' means 'some' or 'a small amount'. It is used with uncountable nouns. In the given sentence, the noun, 'English' is a proper name and not countable. When used in the blank, the determiner means, 'You must learn a small amount of English every day to improve it'. As this word meaningfully completes the sentence, it is an appropriate determiner which can be used in the blank and option B is correct.
The determiner, 'a lot of' means 'a large number or amount of'. It can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns. However, in the sentence, the speaker talks about making small efforts consistently, every day in order to improve English language skills. Hence, the blank cannot be filled with a phrase which means 'a large amount of'.
