MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

1. He said that he did not know of nobody else who could do this job.
He said that he did not know of nobody else who could do this job.
He said that he did not know of anybody else who could do this job.
He said he did not know of no other person who could do this job.
He said that he did not know nobody else that could do this job.
He said that he did not know anybody that could do this job.
Answer explanation
“He did not know” is a negative; the correct object choice is anybody.
“Nobody” creates a double negative, which is ungrammatical. This would literally mean he did know of somebody, as the second negative would negate the first one.
“No other person” (C) creates another double negative with “not” the same as “nobody” does.
Answer (D) not only has the double negative, but it additionally uses “that” about a person, when “who” is preferred. (“That” is for things.)
Answer (E) does not have the double negative, but it omits the word else, which changes the meaning of the sentence. With else, it means he only knew of one person who could do it; without it, it means he knew of no person who could.
