7个回答

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.
