Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate answer.
I don’t have _ _ _ _ _ money in my pocket.
A) All
B) Some
C) Few
D) Any

Answer 1

Hint: First we must know the meanings of all the options and choose the option which will be grammatically correct. Also we must see that the selected option will make the sentence meaningful.

Complete step-by-step answer:
This sentence requires a correct Determiner to complete.
Let’s discuss what Determiners are. Some, any, all, few, many, muchare called Determiners which are used before nouns to help explain them.
Let’s now examine and analyze above given options:
All: all is used to explain uncountable nouns but the given sentence is a possessive negative sentence where using all doesn’t make any sense. So this is an inappropriate option.
Some: some is used with an unspecified number of something but given sentence is a negative sentence so this option can’t be used in this sentence.
Few: few is used before countable nouns but in a given sentence ‘money’ is an uncountable noun. So it’s an inappropriate option for this sentence.
Any: option (D) is an absolutely correct option because the sentence shows that the person is saying that he doesn’t have any money in his pocket at that particular moment. So the correct sentence is “I don’t have any money in my pocket”.
Option D is the correct answer.

Note: To understand such questions the study of Determiner nouns and pronouns is required so that we can write correct sentences.
Determiner is a word that introduces the noun. Determiner comes before the noun.
Eg- this, that, those, a few, a little, much, many, etc.
