本題有關"few"和"many"、主語單複數與動詞的搭配問題和可數名詞的修飾問題。few=not many，雖然"few"在句子中可作代詞，但通常不能如(a) we few那樣作同位語，而應將其如文中那樣用於“few of”結構之中；(b) hardly anybody中的“anybody"為單數形式，作主語時動詞需用單數形式，而題中的動詞“have”為複數動詞，因此搭配有誤；(c) Iittle people中的“little”為形容詞，只能用於修飾不可數名詞，而“people”則為複數名詞；因而本題(d)not many為正確選項，也可將其視為not many Ofus的省略結構。
It was typicalof Bruce to announce' cheerfully' that therewas no oil in the engine! For the rest of us, it was a disaster.We all got out and began shouting at him and then at eachother. What could we do? We were standing in the middle of avery large pool up to our ankles in water with a car that wasuseless.
We tried to push it, but of course it was absolutelyimpossible. All we managed to do was to push it deeper into thesoft mud. In the end we all walked to next village where wetried to get a taxi so that we could take some oil(and petrol)back to the car.
We couldn't find one driver who would take us over therough road. Fortunately there was a small garage and we paid alarge sum of money tO the garage owner to rent a jeep. With acan of oil and an extra can of petrol we all climbed in and setoff.
When we eventuallygot back to the pool, we attached arope from the jeep to the car and pulled the car out of thewater. Wewere not surprised to find that the engine was badlydamaged, and would not even start with the oil we had broughtback. Disaster again, but Broce was undisrnayed!
