A little change or alteration in usage of the article/helping verb may change meaningof a sentence. Below given are the sentences along with their meanings; identify the expressions with thecorrect meaning and choose the right option:
I. Little hope of success - no hope
II. A little hope of success - some hope at least
III. A neighbor to one - living near one
IV. Neighbor to one - kind to one
Sentence I: This implies a small amount of hope, but in common usage, it often conveys a pessimistic tone, suggesting almost no hope. This is the correct usage.
Sentence II: The addition of the article "a" makes this more positive, indicating a small but definite amount of hope, matching the meaning "some hope at least." This is thus also correct.
Sentence III: The phrase with the article "a" typically refers to someone living near another person, which fits the meaning "living near one." This is also correct.
Sentence IV:
Since all the statements are grammatically correct, the correct option is D.
