Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the best indefinite pronoun that fits.
---
1) __________ have turned in their assignments.
We’re talking about multiple people turning in work. “Each” is singular, so it would need “has,” not “have.” “All” can be plural — “All have turned in…” works. “Everyone” is also singular (needs “has”). “Somebody” is singular too.
✔ So the correct answer is:
All
---
2) __________ came for the opening of the new store.
This is about people showing up. “Everywhere,” “Nothing,” and “Anywhere” don’t refer to people. “Everyone” means all the people who were expected or invited — makes sense here.
✔ Correct answer:
Everyone
---
3) Daniel looked for his dog __________.
Daniel is searching — we want to say he searched in every place. “Each” doesn’t fit without a noun. “Anywhere” is used in negatives or questions. “Somebody” is a person, not a place. “Everywhere” = all places → perfect!
✔ Correct answer:
everywhere
---
4) Very __________ agreed with Mr. Anderson’s idea.
“Very” usually goes with words like “few” or “little.” “Someone,” “each,” and “anything” don’t pair well with “very” here. “Very few” means not many people agreed — that’s common phrasing.
✔ Correct answer:
few
---
5) “I don’t want __________ to join my group,” said Sam.
Sam doesn’t want any person to join. “Everywhere” and “anywhere” are places. “Anything” is for objects. “Anyone” = any person → fits perfectly.
✔ Correct answer:
anyone
---
6) It was ten p.m. when suddenly __________ rang my doorbell.
Someone rang the bell — we don’t know who. “Anyone” is for questions/negatives. “Many” and “all” imply more than one person — unlikely at 10 p.m. “Someone” = one unknown person → makes sense.
✔ Correct answer:
someone
---
Final Answer:
1) All
2) Everyone
3) everywhere
4) few
5) anyone
6) someone
