Question

Fill in the blank with the correct option:

______ girl was asked to join the army.

• A. None
• B. Neither
• C. All
• D. Any

Answer 1

The correct option is B Neither

Girl is a countable noun and the sentence is positive.

'All' is plural but the word 'girl' is singular, hence Option C is ruled out.

If we use 'None', the sentence would have missing words. None is also used with plural nouns. (None of the girls were asked...) So, Option A is ruled out.

'Any' is used in negative sentences. So Option D is ruled out.

Using 'neither' retains the meaning and is grammatically correct. Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
