Нужно выбрать little или few.

Правило:

• little — “мало” с неисчисляемыми существительными (food, sugar, soup и т. п.).

• few — “мало” с исчисляемыми во множественном числе (loaves, carrots и т. п.).

• В таких заданиях, когда смысл “почти нет / очень мало”, обычно берут little / few (без a).

Ответы:

1. There was little food in the fridge. It was nearly empty.
   (food — неисчисляемое → little. “Еды почти не было”.)

2. Do you want sugar in your cocoa? — Yes, a little, please.
   (sugar — неисчисляемое. Здесь по смыслу “немного” (вежливый запрос) → a little.)

3. Would you like some soup? — Yes, a little, please.
   (soup — обычно неисчисляемое в значении “немного супа” → a little.)

4. You don’t have to buy bread. We’ve got a few loaves of bread.
   (loaves — исчисляемое мн. число → a few. “Есть несколько буханок”.)

5. There are few carrots in the fridge. We need to buy some.
   (carrots — исчисляемое мн. число → few. “Моркови мало, надо купить”.)
