Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable determiner:
Leena said _________, but I couldn't understand what she said.

• A. something
• B. anything
• C. nothing
• D. someone

Answer 1

The correct option is A something

'Something' means a thing that is unspecified or is unknown and is generally used in positive sentences. Since the sentence the sentence is positive, option A is correct.

'Anything' refers to an indefinite set of things and is used in a negative sentence. The sentence here is not negative and there are no set of things either.

'Nothing' means not a single thing, or not a single part of something. Therefore, it cannot be used in this context since the statement conveys that Leena spoke.

'Someone' refers to a single person or when we do not know if the person is male or female.

Hence, options B, C and D are wrong.
