Complete the astronaut's final log before launching to Mars by choosing the correct quantifier for each gap.

We have little space left in the cargo hold, so I had to leave my guitar behind. However, I managed to sneak in a few packets of my favorite space ice cream. Sadly, few people get the chance to travel this far, so I won't complain!

We have little space left in the cargo hold...

"Space" is uncountable. Because leaving the guitar behind is a negative result, we use "little" (meaning "not much / almost none").

...I managed to sneak in a few packets of my favorite space ice cream.

"Packets" is a plural countable noun. "A few" means "some" and has a positive meaning.

Sadly, few people get the chance to travel this far...

"People" is a plural countable noun. "Few" (without 'a') means "not many" and emphasizes how rare the opportunity is.
