Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Correct Usage of "Little" and "Some" with Uncountable Nouns 

Step 1: Understanding the Rule

The word "butter" is an uncountable noun, so we use "little" to indicate a small amount.

"Some" is used when referring to an additional quantity.

Step 2: Analyzing Incorrect Options

• Few: Used for countable nouns (e.g., "a few apples").
• Much: Generally used in negative sentences (e.g., "I don't have much butter.").
• Many: Used for countable nouns (e.g., "many books").

Step 3: Applying the Rule

The correct sentence should be:

"There is little butter left, but you can have some."

Final Answer:

Thus, the correct answer is "little, some" (Option B).
