In this season the branches have _______ leaves.
(i) few
(ii) no
Answer: C
The branches have either few or no leaves, so the answer is either (i) or (ii).
The second line of the poem reads 'When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang / Upon those boughs'. The poet allows both: at this time of year there may be a few yellow leaves left, or none at all.
'Only (i)' and 'only (ii)' each drop one of the two, and 'neither (i) nor (ii)' would leave the branches full of leaves, which contradicts the line. The poem is Shakespeare's Sonnet 73.
