The investigations of many psychologist and anthropologists support the generalization of there being little that is a significant difference in underlying mental processes manifested by people from different culture. A of there being little that is a significant difference B of there being little that is significantly different C of little that is significantly different D that there is little that is significantly different E that there is little of significant differences

I assume the initial sentence was copied incorrectly since it would have to be different "cultures". "generalization of" has to be followed by a noun clause and "generalization that" by a verb clause. That rules out A,B, and C. E is wrong because "little of significant differences" is incorrect. You could say "there are few significant differences" or "there is little of significant difference". D is the winner.

Hi Tani, Could you please eloborate a little more on your explanation that "You could say "there are few significant differences" or "there is little of significant difference"." How come "there is little of significant difference" will be correct???? We donot know whether there is only 1 difference that exists or >1 ...... Could you please explain this???

Those constructions are the correct idiomatic forms. Idioms by definition are not subject to explanation. Isn't English fun?

Hi Tani, That's right......Idioms are like Defined stanza's of Bible......We have know & read them-that's it....Not Question them, but understand them..... Thanks
