定冠词the和不定冠词a使用辨析

有这样一道题目：

( ) friends Betty had made there were all invited to her birthday party.

A:The few

B: A few

答案是A: The few

我没有明白，为什么不可以是B. A few 呢？

选B. A few 怎么会和后面的all冲突呢?

(A few) friends Betty had made there were all invited to her birthday party.

是不是应该特指，是因为这个原因才这能选The few呢？（而并不是后面的all的原因）

另外，

1）由于few具有否定含义，那么请教老师：The few 是否也具有否定含义呢？

2）the last few years 和 very few people 中的few 具有否定含义吗？

3）可以说very a few people 或 a very few people 吗？

谢谢老师！

all表示为数不多的所有的朋友，为特指意义，必须用定冠词。一个范围内的所有的人或事物，其所指范围去确定的，也就是特指的。the few, the last few, very few都没有否定含义，只是表示少的意思。very a few 或者a very few 都是错误的。
