The correct answer to this quiz was c) fewer. Did you get it right? Few is used with countable nouns to show we're talking about a small number. For example, 'your essay is good but you made a few mistakes'. Fewer is the comparative form, so if you’re talking about countable nouns - comparing people or things - you should use fewer with a plural noun, so 'fewer books' etc. You can read more in this excellent blog post from Oxford Dictionaries: http://bit.ly/LessOrFewer Download our free app here
