Since he had few former employers who would be laudatory about his past projects, Robert could not provide more than a few references. Both dearth and paucity can mean few, so choices (E) and (F) give you appropriate, equivalent sentences.
Both multitude and myriad mean the opposite of what you’re looking for, so eliminate choices (A) and (C). Likewise, array and potpourri are synonyms that mean assortment, so eliminate choices (B) and (D).
Hence option E and F are correct!
