    • Everything

    • Nothing

    • Something

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.”

    Why are you looking at me so angrily? I didn’t do ________wrong.

    • Anything

    • Nothing

    • Everything

    Correct Answer
    A. Anything
    Explanation
    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.

    • Anybody

    • Nobody

    • Everybody

    Correct Answer
    A. Everybody
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "everybody" because the sentence states that he was helpful to nearly everyone in the village. "Everybody" refers to all the people in the village, indicating that he helped each and every individual.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

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

    • Anybody

    • Somebody

    • Everybody

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    • Everything

    • Nothing

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    • Nowhere

    • Everywhere

    • Somewhere

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    • Nowhere

    • Somewhere

    • Wherever

    Correct Answer
    A. Wherever
    Explanation
    The phrase uses the indefinite pronoun "wherever" to denote any place the person might go. It implies the speaker's persistence by stating they will search in all possible locations ("wherever you go"), indicating no specific limit to their pursuit. This indefinite pronoun emphasizes the speaker's determination to find the person, highlighting their unwavering resolve regardless of the person's movements or attempts to evade them.

    The correct choice is "Everything we did." This phrase indicates that all possible actions were taken in an attempt to save the dog, emphasizing the comprehensiveness and effort involved. Despite these efforts, the unfortunate outcome of the dog's death remained unchanged. This option communicates the full extent of the attempts made, contrasting with "Nothing," which would suggest ineffectiveness or lack of impact from the start.
