Question

Fill in the blank using the correct options given:
It was very cold yesterday, so I remained indoors _________ day.

• A. some
• B. any
• C. no
• D. all

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

all

Option A - 'Some' is a determiner which is used for uncountable nouns when the quantity or type is specified. 'Some' means 'a bit more than little.' For example, 'I need some more rice.' 'Someday' means 'at some time in future'. As the sentence is specifically talking about the entire day, we can't use 'some' here. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B -'Any' is a determiner, which is used to determine a noun that is unspecific in quantity or type. As the sentence clearly explains about the 'day', which is specific and hence we can't use 'any'. Also, 'any day' means a random day. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'No' is a determiner which is used in negative sentences. 'No day' is grammatically incorrect here. Also, as the sentence is affirmative, we can't use 'no' here. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'All' is a determiner, which means 'whole' or 'every'. 'All day' means 'whole day'. Also, 'all' is often used with affirmative sentences. Hence, option D is the correct answer.

'It was very cold yesterday, so I remained indoors all day.'
