Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the given options:-

I found a ______ number of books in the library than what I found last time.

less

lesser

least

✅ Correct Option: 2

'A lesser number of' is the standard idiomatic phrase used to compare quantities of countable items in such constructions. 'Less' is used with uncountable nouns, 'few' would need to stand alone without 'a...number of', and 'least' is a superlative not fitting a two-item comparison.
