The university usually has students attending from other countries. which word belongs in the blank?
a. less
b. lesser
c. few
d. fewer

The correct answer is: Option D. Fewer.

Fewer is a quantifier used to refer to countable objects. In this case, students are countable objects, thus this word is fitting for the sentence. Few may not be used here since it requires the article a to go before it, as in 'a few'.

On the other hand, less and lesser can only be used to refer to objects that cannot be counted - such as water.
