Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'very few people'.
Key Points
- The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
- Here, 'very few people' should be used instead of 'very little peoples'.
- We use few and a few with countable nouns in the plural form, and we use little and a little with uncountable nouns.
- In the given sentence 'peoples' should be changed into 'people' because we don't use 's' after 'people'.
- Example:
- Few people live to be 100.
- Hence, 'very few people' should be used.
Correct Sentence: There are very few people in this world who are bold enough to defy social customs.
Hinglish
- दिया गया वाक्य व्याकरण की दृष्टि से गलत है।
- यहाँ 'very little peoples' के स्थान पर 'very few people' का प्रयोग किया जाना चाहिए।
- हम plural form में countable nouns के साथ few और a few का उपयोग करते हैं, और हम uncountable nouns के साथ little और a little उपयोग करते हैं।
- दिए गए वाक्य में 'peoples' को 'people' में बदलना चाहिए क्योंकि हम 'people' के बाद 's' का प्रयोग नहीं करते हैं।
