Question

One little girl had _____ presents than the rest

Answer 1

One little girl had few presents than the rest.

Answer 2

One little girl had more presents than the rest.

Explanation:  

• The question does not state which determiner should be used here.
• Hence, both the words less and more can be used in this sentence to complete it.
• Less and more are opposites of each other. Here, depending on which word is used, the meaning and the effect of the sentence changes.
• Here, using the word less means the girl was singled out in a negative way because she has less presents than the other kids.
• By using more, the girl is singled out in an affirmative way, meaning she must be someone special to get more presents than the rest of the kids.
