Question

Fill in the blank with the correct option:

_______ boy was punished by the teacher.

• A. Either
• B. All
• C. Any
• D. Many

Answer 1

The correct option is A Either

Boy is the countable singular noun in the sentence.

'Either' means positive affirmation.

All' and 'Many' mean a lot of boys (plural), hence they don't fit in the sentence. Option B and Option D are ruled out.

'Any' is used in negative sentence. The sentence doesn't have the word 'not', hence is positive. Option C isn't correct.

Therefore, Option 'A' is the correct answer.
