  • a few — "a few" means some, positive meaning; "few" means almost none, but here "but not many" suggests some were left, so "a few".
  • either — "either" is used for one of two; "neither" means not one nor the other. The question asks if you recognise one of them, so "either".
  • little — "little point" means almost no point; "a little point" would mean some point, but the sentence says it's so late, so there's almost no point, so "little".
  • None — "None" is a pronoun meaning not one; "No" is a determiner, but here we need a pronoun: "None of my family".
  • few — "few sports I find more boring" means there are almost no sports more boring, i.e., cricket is very boring. "a few" would mean some sports are more boring, which contradicts the strong dislike. So "few".
  • both — "both covered in mud" means the two hands are covered; "either" would mean one or the other, but the exclamation suggests both are muddy. So "both".
  • a little — offering sugar: "a little" means some, a small amount; "little" would mean almost none, which is not an offer. So "a little".
  • Every one — "Every" is a determiner and needs a noun, but "Every one" is a pronoun phrase meaning each one. "Every" alone can't be used like that. So "Every one".
