Choose the correct quantifier. Emergency workers have set up _______ shelters for the homeless as they struggle to distribute food and water.

The correct answer is 'a few'. Explanation: 'Shelters' is a countable noun (мы можем посчитать количество приютов). 'A little' and 'much' are used with uncountable nouns (нельзя посчитать, например, вода, время). 'A great deal of' is used with uncountable nouns or in general expressions, but it doesn't fit well here because 'a few' directly indicates a small quantity of countable items, which aligns with the context. So, 'a few' is the correct option because it is used with countable nouns and fits the context of setting up some shelters.
