I am stuck between options D and E. Some and Little both are used with uncountable nouns.

But given the context of the sentence here - we are talking about how much quantity of air is in the mixture - I would go with D ("a little amount of air")

This is a good one. What is the OA?

IMO A

A or D. I would have selected D if 'and' was not there in D.

Please correct me if am wrong:)

i think we need "and" because - concrete is made from 4 substances

1) portland cement
2) water
3) fine and coarse aggregates
4) air

imo "and" is required to complete the list of items.
