Question:
DIRECTIONS: A sentence or a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part at (A), (B), (C) which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (D).

Located by the Pravara River, this is one of the fewer-known gems in the Western Ghats offering all the delights of a hill getaway. 

Options:
A) the lesser-known
B) lesser-known
C) the few-known
D) no improvement 
Solution:
Ans: (a) ‘the lesser-known’ should replace the underlined part in order to improve the sentence. Less/ lesser is used for uncountable nouns, while few/fewer is used for countable nouns. The article ‘the’ should be used before ‘lesser’ as a specific object is being talked about. So, none of the options (B) and (C) are correct. The option (A) is the correct choice.
