In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select “No improvement". A little money we collected from our class for the farewell party, we gave it to Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund.?

Option 2 : The little money

The correct answer is the little money.

• The underlined part ‘a little money’ is incorrect as it uses article the with adjective little.
• Let's look at the usage of little, a little and the little-
  • Little means ‘hardly any’.
  • A little means ‘some but not much’.
  • The little means ‘not much but all’.
• In the given sentence, we can infer whatever money is collected, the whole of it is given to the relief fund.
• Hence, ‘the little money’ will be suitable to use in place of ‘a little money’.
   

Hence, the correct sentence is “The little money we collected from our class for the farewell party, we gave it to Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund”.
