Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable determiner:
"How much money have you got?" I asked Jack. He replied ,"____________."

• A. None
• B. Any
• C. No one
• D. Few

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

None

Determiners are words placed in front of a noun to make it clear what the noun refers to.

'None' can be a singular pronoun it is referring to "not one" or "no part". It is generally used as pronoun to replace countable and uncountable nouns. Since money is an uncountable noun, option A is correct.

The determiner, 'any' is used to refer to one or some of a thing or number of things. It does not convey how much or how many. Hence 'any cannot be used in this context.

'No one' is an indefinite pronoun. It means the same as "nobody". Since the sentence is referring to the amount of money, 'no one' cannot be used.

The determiner, 'few' means 'not many' or 'almost none'. It is not used with uncountable noun like 'money'.

Hence, options B, C and D are wrong.
