Correct Answer: a little
 


Solution : The correct answer is option 3.

She began to tell him  a little about her college project.

Explanation:

Let's examine how the following adjectives differ:

  • Little-very little- hardly any (In a negative context)
  • A little-somewhat - but not significantly.
  • The little is all that is available, though it is not much.
  • A few- used to highlight just how little a number is.

These adjectives are all used with singular nouns that are not countable.
Project is a singular, uncountable noun, so the word "a little" will be used in the sentence's blank.
