Less- uncountable, few - countable
D/E are clearly out

I am btw A and B.

B > A
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
Regards,
HSPA.

i dont clealry understand all the answer choices but as it an official question it MUST be correct, so will go wth POE here.

less vs few- few
eliminate A,D,E
bet B and C amount is incorrect in C
so my take: B
