As there were ______ lifeboats for everybody. two choice>> 1. very few 2. too few
which one is correct ,why?

As there were ______ lifeboats for everybody. two choice>> 1. very few 2. too fewwhich one is correct ,why?
The correct answer is ... too few.
Why? The key to this is:
***This sentence isn't really complete, it could be something like:
As there were too few lifeboats for everbody, (the captain decided women and children should be rescued first)".
因为这个句子以 As 开头,表示了一层因果关系.紧随其后的 ... "for everybody" 表明了是“太少”救生艇,不够给所有人乘坐.
假如只是单纯说救生艇不多,用 very few 就没错:
There were very few lifeboats. 语法正确且完整.
因此,必须透彻了解话中没说出来的意思再作选择.

2

too few
因为too few 强调语气很重。而且这句话的背景是lifeboat。。救生用的
very few只是说很少

very few
非常少,但够 几乎没有几个
too few
太少了
所以选2

A 符合语言习惯,以上别的解释真是不好

当然是1 few是个表示否定意义的词 而too是常用于肯定句中的,否定句中常用either。

B
太少了,too常用于否定
