Here are cases where the word a completely changes the meaning of a sentence:

b. John has a few friends in New York. He visits them whenever he goes there.
(a few = several, 3, 4, 5, etc.)

(quite a few = many, an impressive number)

d. Nancy has little money. She can't afford a vacation this year.
(little - not much; a very small quantity; not enough)

father to help pay the rent.
