There are even few students in class than there were before. Correct Answer Fewer students in
The correct answer is option 2.
The sentence is wrong because the form of the adjective ‘few’ is incorrect.
Option 1 is incorrect because the form of the adjective and the preposition ‘at’ are both wrong. ‘At’ is used to point out the exact location of a place eg, ‘I will see you at the grocery store by your house’ while ‘in’ is used for unspecified and general places eg, ‘I live in Delhi.’
Option 3 is not correct because the adjective ‘few’ indicates quantity or number which is more than one but not a lot so it can’t be ‘student’ as it is singular while the adjective demands a plural form of noun.
Option 2 is the correct answer because it the adjective should be in comparative form because in the latter part of the sentence ‘than’ is mentioned, so the sentence is comparing the number of students with an earlier point in time.
Correct sentence:
‘There are even fewer students in the class than there were before.’
