In the quote, what words can be replaced with 'options'?

Thanks.

Hi Chan-Seung Lee,

Try this:

This plan is not very good, but I'm afraid there are very few alternatives available to us at this late stage of the game.

Thanks lotus for your clear answer.

I have one more question which is whether 'choice' can also be the alternative to 'option'.

So, I made a sentence in which I used 'choice' instead of 'options' like this: 'This plan is not very good but I'm afraid there is little choice available to us at this late stage of the game.'

Please tell me whether the above sentence made by me is correct or not.

Thanks.

Hi Chan-Seung Lee,

That's not bad. I would shorten the sentence a little:

This plan is not very good, but I'm afraid there is little choice at this late stage of the game.
