Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
_____________ don't like red wine.

• A. Some people
• B. Any people
• C. Somebody
• D. Anybody

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Some people

Option A: 'Some' in this context refers to a person, or thing, without stating exactly which one/ones. Some here means 'some of the' and relates to the given sentence. Hence option A is correct.

Option B: 'Any people' is not the correct usage, because 'any' is generally used for singular nouns.

Options C and D: 'Somebody' and 'anybody' are singular pronouns whereas the verb 'do' ('don't' is a contraction of 'do not') is plural. The subject and verb must be the same number.

Hence these options are incorrect.
