Answer 2

Answer:

The cat drank the little milk that I had put in the bowl

Explanation:

• Milk is an uncountable noun.
• The only thing that separates "little" and "a little" is that the former has a derogatory meaning and the latter a favourable one.
• When the word "little" is used, it means nearly any amount or very little.
• As an illustration, "There is little probability that the patient will survive." Little refers to the patient's slim chances of surviving in this situation. However, "a little" in a sentence denotes a small amount.
• In the identical situation, we would thus say, "There is a little chance the patient may live," if we used the phrase "a little." Then it there is some chance.
• Little refers to a very small amount or just a little bit. Little refers to a tiny amount or some. The little means not much but all of that much.
• All these are determiners.
• The little is the correct option as the cat drank all the milk which was in the bowl but thr milk in the bowl was not much.
• Hence, The cat drank the little milk that I had put in the bowl
