Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Correct answer: a little

Explanation: "money" is an uncountable noun. Use "a little" with uncountable nouns to mean "some" or "a small amount."

Correct sentence: She saves a little money every month.

  • Use with uncountable nouns: Use "a little" to express a small amount (e.g., "a little bread", "a little milk").

  • Use with plural countable nouns: Use "a few" to mean a small number (e.g., "a few days", "a few coins").

  • Without "a" (few/little): "few" and "little" suggest very small quantity or almost none (e.g., "few people", "little time").

Note on "the little": "the little" refers to a specific small amount already known (for example, "the little money she had left"). In this sentence there is no prior reference, so the indefinite form "a little" is correct.
