Question

Fill in the blanks with the correct option:
We need ______ eggs to bake the cake, but I cannot find ______ in the refrigerator.

• A. any, some
• B. any, few
• C. some, little
• D. some, any

Answer 1

The correct option is D some, any

We use 'some' for positive statements and 'any' for negative statements. Hence, the first blank, which is in a positive statement, will correctly be filled by 'some' and the second blank, which is in a negative statement, should use 'any'. This gives the right answer as D.
