Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
"But I can't do ___ for him," the girl told ___ friend.

• A. somebody/their
• B. anything/her
• C. something/any
• D. theirs/nothing
• E. anybody/no

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

anything/her

In the given sentence the speaker is a girl. So, the personal pronoun 'her' must be used. It is thus clear that the second pronoun in the sentence must be 'her'.

Now, the girl cannot do a certain thing for her friend. So, an indefinite pronoun ending with -thing must be used. Since the sentence is a negative one, we can use the indefinite pronoun 'anything'.

Thus option B is the correct answer.

Options A,C,D,E are incorrect.
