## Step 1<br />The problem is a fill-in-the-blank type question where we need to choose the correct preposition or article to complete the sentence. The sentence is "The sweater was cheap. It cost only __ few pounds."<br /><br />## Step 2<br />We need to understand the context of the sentence. The sentence is talking about the cost of a sweater, which is cheap and costs only a few pounds.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />We need to choose the correct preposition or article that fits the context of the sentence. The options are 'in', 'an', 'the', and 'a'.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The preposition 'in' is used when we are talking about something being inside something else. The preposition 'an' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. The preposition 'the' is used when we are talking about something specific. The article 'a' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />In this context, we are talking about a specific amount of money, which is 'a few pounds'. Therefore, the correct preposition to use is 'a'.
