Indefinite pronouns

Front

I can’t find my mobile phone .....................

Back

anywhere

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'anywhere' because it indicates that the mobile phone is not found in any location. 'Somewhere' suggests it might be found, and 'nowhere' implies it is not present at all, which doesn't fit the context.

Front

The glass is empty. Someone drank my orange juice.

Back

Someone

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'Someone' because it implies that an unspecified person drank the orange juice, which fits the context of the glass being empty. 'Anyone' and 'No one' do not convey the same meaning.

Front

Do you know anybody who has got red hair?

Back

anybody

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'anybody' because it is used in questions to refer to an unspecified person. 'Someone' and 'somebody' are more affirmative, while 'something' refers to objects, not people.

Front

What is wrong with my mobile? I can’t hear you.

Back

Something

Answer explanation

Front

Back

No one

Answer explanation

The phrase 'All my friends are ill' implies that there is no one among them who is healthy. Therefore, the correct choice is 'No one', indicating that nobody is healthy.

Front

The music is too loud. I can’t hear anything.

The correct choice is 'anything' because it is used in negative sentences to indicate the absence of something. In this context, 'I can’t hear anything' means there is no sound that can be heard due to the loud music.

Front

Back

Somebody

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'Someobody' because it indicates that someone is looking at us, which fits the context of identifying Sarah. 'Something' and 'No one' do not convey a person, while 'Someobody' correctly implies a person is present.

Front

Rolling Stones is a very popular band. Everyone knows it.

Everyone

The phrase indicates a universal acknowledgment of the band's popularity. 'Everyone' fits best as it implies that all people are aware of the Rolling Stones, making it the correct choice over 'They' or 'Someone'.

Front

I didn’t do .......................... wrong.

Back

anything

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'anything' because it fits the negative construction 'didn't do...'. 'Nothing' implies a complete absence, which contradicts the context. 'Something' is also incorrect as it suggests an action was taken.
