1) a few. Minutes can be counted like 1 minute, 2 minutes..... so it is a
countable noun. 'a little' is for uncountable and 'a few is for countable. Therefore, the answer is 'a few'.

2) plenty of.
plenty- countable
a large amount of - uncountable

3)several.( There is NO adjective like 'servant'. 'servant' means a person who
works for you.)
several- countable
much- uncountable

4) a large number of.
a large number of- countable
a great deal of- uncountable

5) a large amount of
a large number of- countable
a large amount of - uncountable

6) a lot of
a great deal of- uncountable
a lot of - uncountable + countable

P.S. 'some' is both countable and uncountable.
參考: me myself
