Question

Use ( a little, a lot of, few, a few, fewer, many, much) only.

I moved to this neighborhood two years ago. There seemed to be ______ people in this area who were without telephones, so I expected to get a new phone quickly. I applied for one as soon as I moved into the new house. " We aren't supplying _____ new phones in your area, "an engineer told me," _____ people want new phones at present and the company is employing _____ engineers than last year so as to save money. A new phone won't cost _____ money, but it will take _____ time. We can't do anything for you before December. You need _____ patience if you are waiting for a new phone and you should have _____ friends whose phones you can use when necessary". Fortunately, I have both. December came and went, but there was no sign of a phone. I went to the office of the telephone company to protest. "They told me I would have a phone by December," I protested. " Which year?" the clerk asked.
