处于少数的 in the minority; [例句]非殖民化的大潮尚处于萌动阶段，少数的几个发展中国家只是历史的被支配者，而非主宰者。The great waves of decolonization were just stirring; the few developing countries were seen as objects, not subjects, of history.
They are in a minority 第一个和第四个首先从语法上就不对，数格不一致。minority既可以做名词，又可以做形容词，如果用形容词，直接说they are minority.如果用名词，则需要定冠词，所以选第三个。其中in a minority也可以用in the minority.
