Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

This discrepancy arises from the fact that the term "few" is employed in conjunction with countable nouns, whereas the term "little" is employed with uncountable nouns. Given that "time" is an uncountable noun, the correct usage is "little time".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: There is little time for preparation.
