Question

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:
I have not got no money on me.
A. Any
B. Some
C. None
D. No change

Answer 1

Hint:The given options are quantifiers. Quantifier is an expression that indicates the scope of a term to which it is attached. The quantifiers are nearly identical but they are very different.

Complete answer:
Option A) Any - this option is correct because the quantifiers 'some' and 'any' are used with plural and uncountable nouns, as in when we talk about an unknown amount or number of things. any' is used for negative sentences. Since the statement attempts to convey that the speaker lacks money, option A is correct.

Option B) Some – This option is incorrect because in the given statement the noun, 'money' is uncountable. The quantifiers 'some' and 'any' are not interchangeable. 'Some' is used in affirmative sentences. Since the statement attempts to convey that the speaker lacks money, Option B is incorrect.

Option C) None – This option is incorrect because None' is the pronoun form of 'no'. It is used to replace countable and uncountable nouns, but it is never used directly before the noun. In the statement the noun is 'money', therefore option C is incorrect.

Option D) No change - Option D is incorrect because No' is used in a sentence to express that something doesn't exist, but if there is another clause that makes the sentence negative, we should use 'any' instead of 'no'. Therefore, option D is incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘A’.

Note:In the given question we can see that it conveys lack of money. So a negative quantifier is used. One needs to carefully remember the rules because all the options are plausible distractions.
