Dear teachers,
Would you please tell me which of my choices you would rule out?
It took John only 1 a) a few / b) SOME (?) minutes [we cannot say c) ONLY FEW minutes, can we?] to wash and shave, and as he doesn’t usually have 2 a) much / b) any time for breakfast, he was ready to go in less than half an hour. He ran to the station and found very 3 few passengers waiting for the early morning train. He fortunately had 4 a) SOME / b) a little / c) ENOUGH [does it make sense ?] time to wait. When the train came, he was 5 a) little (?) / b) A LITTLE / c) VERY / RATHER / QUITE (?) surprised to notice that his compartment was empty. He had had difficulty in rising at such an early hour and he only got used to it 6 a) a few / b) SOME / c) MANY weeks later and he came to realize that the earlier he rose, the more relaxing his day would be.
Are there other possibilities I didn't think of ?
Thank you very much indeed.
Best regards,
Hela
I wouldn't use 1b), for 2, I'd use something else instead of 'have', like 'need much'. I wouldn't use 4c), 5a)

Dear teachers,
Can I also use "enough" for blank #2 ?
Thanks a lot,
