10. (PUCRS) The expression "a few" is used incorrectly in a) Unfortunately there were a few seats left when we arrived at the theater. b) Help yourself, there are a few sandwiches and cookies left. c) These journal articles always have a few ideas worth discussing. d) They managed to find a few clues of what the theater looked like. e) A few of his marvellous engravings have survived.​

Answer 1

Resposta:

a) Unfortunately there were a few seats left when we arrived at the theater.

Explicação:

because here we can not use A few seats it implies the idea that are sufficient amount of seats, when he says unfortunately it gives us the idea that the seats available were not enough thus it is important to use FEW seats without the indefinite article A
