Answer 1

It wasn’t a bad crash. Little damage is done to my car.( option 1).

Let us analyze each option.

1. It wasn’t a bad crash. Little damage is done to my car.

• This statement is correct.
• Here, 'little' refers to a small amount.
• It is appropriate in this context as damage cannot be quantified in numbers; it can only be expressed qualitatively.

2. It wasn’t a bad crash. 'Small' damage is done to my car.

• This statement is wrong.
• Here, 'small' is inappropriate because damage cannot be 'small', as it is not quantifiable.

3. It wasn’t a bad crash. 'Light' damage is done to my car.

• This statement is wrong.
• Here 'light' means not heavy.
• It is not appropriate in this sentence as 'light' damage in this context does not make sense.

4. It wasn’t a bad crash. 'Mere' damage is done to my car.

• This statement is wrong.
• 'Mere' damage is incoherent because 'mere' implies a degree of smallness which is not appropriate in this context.

Hence, the correct option is A. Little.
