D the
adjective little modifies ‘ mass nouns” (e.g. water), refer to some
undifferentiated Quantity; the adjective fey modifies “count nouns” (e.g...
services), which refer to made up to distinct members that can be considered”
Hence, choices A and B are incorrect because little properly modify services.
Also, since water and services are being discussed as a pair, they should
logically be treated as a compound subject requiring a plural verb; thus, the
singular exists (in B and C) is wrong.
Choice D is the best; the plural verb is used, and few correctly modifies
services.
7.
C The
best choice is C.

parallel phrase.
Choices A, B and D present structures that are unwieldy and awkward in

illustrate.” Hence C.
10.
D “Seemingly
“(adverb) should be used with fashion (verb) and in the second part the phrase
should be “targeted specifically at”. Hence d.
