Little water / that was left / in the bottle was not enough / to quench the thirst of two persons.

Answer: Option E

Correct Answer: Option E: No Error

Explanation:

The phrase "Little water" is appropriate in this context.

The word "Little" is used to indicate a very small amount. In this context, it suggests that there was a small quantity of water left, and this amount was insufficient. "Little" has a negative connotation, meaning "not much" or "almost none."

For example, if you say, "There is little water left," it implies that the water remaining is very minimal and likely not enough for what is needed.

The sentence is stating that the small amount of water left in the bottle was not sufficient to satisfy the thirst of two people. The phrase "Little water" correctly captures the idea that the remaining water was inadequate.

The structure and wording of the sentence are grammatically correct. Each part of the sentence logically follows the other, and the use of "Little" appropriately conveys the intended meaning.

Sometimes, people confuse "Little" with "A little."

"Little" means "not much" or "almost nothing" (negative).

"A little" means "some," though not a lot (positive).

In this sentence, "Little" is the correct choice because the sentence is emphasizing the insufficiency of the water, not just that there was some left.

Therefore, Option E: No Error is the correct answer.
