    • A.

      Nothing

    • B.

      Something

    • C.

      Anything

    Correct Answer
    B. Something
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "something" because it suggests that there is a specific object or substance in the person's hair, which is believed to be a bug. "Nothing" would imply that there is nothing at all in the hair, while "anything" would imply that there could be any object or substance in the hair, without specifying what it is.

    • A.

      Nowhere

    • B.

      Somewhere

    • C.

      Anywhere

    Correct Answer
    C. Anywhere
    Explanation
    The phrase "I will try to find you anywhere you go" implies that the speaker is determined to locate the person no matter where they may try to hide or escape. The word "anywhere" emphasizes the speaker's persistence and suggests that there is no possible location that can provide refuge or evade their search.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    He didn’t say _________useful. All nonsense.

    • A.

      Everything

    • B.

      Nothing

    • C.

      Anything

    Correct Answer
    C. Anything
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "anything" because the sentence states that he didn't say anything useful and considers everything else as nonsense. This implies that there was no specific useful thing mentioned, ruling out "everything" and "nothing" as options. Therefore, "anything" is the most appropriate choice in this context.

    Rate this question:

    • C.

      Nobody

    Correct Answer
    C. Nobody
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that nobody is perfect, indicating that making mistakes is a natural part of being human. By saying "nobody is perfect," it encourages the reader not to be too hard on themselves for making a mistake. This phrase is often used to remind people that it is okay to make errors and that perfection is an unrealistic expectation.

      Nothing

    • C.

      Everything

    Correct Answer
    A. Anything

    The speaker is questioning why the person is looking at them angrily, implying that they believe they haven't done anything wrong. The word "anything" in the blank space reinforces the idea that the speaker is innocent and hasn't committed any wrongdoing.

      Nothing

    • C.

      Something

    Correct Answer
    C. Something
    Explanation
    The speaker thinks they have found something interesting in the given context, specifically a button. This suggests that there is an object or element that caught their attention and piqued their curiosity, making “something” work better than “nothing” or “everything.”

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    My dictionary was just on the desk. ____________ took it!

    • A.

      Anybody

    • B.

      Somebody

    • C.

      Everybody

    Correct Answer
    B. Somebody
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Somebody" because it implies that out of the three options (Anybody, Somebody, Everybody), one specific person took the dictionary from the desk. "Anybody" suggests that it could have been any person, while "Everybody" implies that all people took it collectively. Therefore, "Somebody" is the most appropriate choice in this context.

    • C.

      Everything

    Correct Answer
    A. Nothing

    • B.

      Everywhere

    • C.

      Somewhere

    Correct Answer
    C. Somewhere
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "somewhere" because it suggests that the murder weapon was found in an unspecified location near the hut. This implies that the weapon was not easily visible or easily accessible, as it was not found "everywhere" or "nowhere". The word "somewhere" indicates that the weapon was present in a particular but unknown place.
