Here’s the correct answer for each sentence, along with a clear explanation:
---
1) ______ have turned in their assignments.
✔ Correct answer: All
Explanation:
“All” is an indefinite pronoun that refers to every member of a group — here, it implies *all students* (or all people involved). It fits grammatically because “have” is plural, and “All” agrees with plural verbs. “Each” and “Everyone” are singular and would require “has.” “Somebody” is too vague and doesn’t match the plural verb.

2) ______ came for the opening of the new store.
✔ Correct answer: Everyone
Explanation:
“Everyone” means every person — it’s commonly used when talking about people attending an event. “Everywhere” and “Anywhere” refer to places, not people. “Nothing” doesn’t make sense here — no one came? That contradicts the context. So “Everyone” is the only logical choice.

3) Daniel looked for his dog ________ .
✔ Correct answer: everywhere
Explanation:
This is an adverbial phrase — we’re describing *where* he looked. “Everywhere” means in all places — perfect for searching for a lost dog. “Each,” “anywhere,” and “somebody” don’t fit contextually. “Anywhere” could work in negative or question contexts (“He didn’t look anywhere”), but here it’s affirmative — so “everywhere” is best.

4) Very ______ agreed with Mr. Anderson's idea.
✔ Correct answer: few
Explanation:
“Very few” is a common phrase meaning “not many.” The other options don’t fit:
- “someone” → doesn’t pair with “very”
- “each” → singular, doesn’t go with “very”
- “anything” → refers to things, not people agreeing
So “few” is correct — implying only a small number agreed.

5) "I don't want ______ to join my group," said Sam.
✔ Correct answer: anyone
Explanation:
In negative sentences, we use “anyone” (not “someone”). “Anyone” = any person — fits perfectly with “don’t want.”
- “everywhere” / “anywhere” → place words, not people
- “anything” → refers to objects, not people
So “anyone” is the only correct choice.

6) It was ten p.m. when suddenly ______ rang my doorbell.
✔ Correct answer: someone
Explanation:
We’re referring to a person (who rang the doorbell). “Someone” is used in affirmative sentences to mean “an unspecified person.”
- “anyone” → usually used in questions or negatives
- “many” / “all” → don’t fit grammatically (would need “people” after them)
So “someone” is correct — an unknown person rang the bell.
