Discussion
Read each sentence to find out whether there is an error in any underlined part.
A few men are free from fault.
Answer: A
The error is in part (A) A few men.
A few means 'some', a small but positive number, while few without the article means 'hardly any', with a negative sense. The sentence means that hardly anyone is faultless, so it should read Few men are free from fault.
With 'a few' the sentence would claim that some men are faultless, which is not the intended meaning. Parts (B) and (C) are correct.
