Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
Marie has two radios. _________ of them are good.

• A. Some
• B. Any
• C. Both
• D. One

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both

Option A: 'Some' is used when it refers to more than two things or people. For example, 'Marie has a jar of cookies. She has removed some for you.'

The noun in question 'radio' is only two. Hence this word isn't suitable.

Option B: 'Any' is a pronoun that is used in negative sentences and interrogatives. The given sentence isn't negative.

Option D: 'One' is a singular pronoun. But, the verb in the sentence is plural 'are'. If the verb is plural, the subject should be plural too.

Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.

Option C: 'Both' is a pronoun that refers to two people or things. It applies here as it refers to 'two radios'. Hence option C is correct.
