○ several
○ a few

Explanation:

The Dawes Act aimed to allot lands to Native Americans. "Severalty" in legal and historical context (related to land distribution) means separate. It was about dividing communal tribal lands into individual plots. "Several" and "a few" are about quantity (not the meaning here). "Community" is the opposite as it refers to collective ownership.

Answer:

Separate
