Choose the option to fill in the suitable determiner:
I don't have ________ selfish friend.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → any
Complete sentence: I don't have any selfish friend. "I don't have any selfish friend" means not one of my friends is selfish.
| Option | Meaning and use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Much | Much goes with uncountable nouns (much money, much time). "Friend" is countable. | – |
| (2) never | Never is an adverb, not a determiner, and with "don't" it makes a double negative. | – |
| (3) any (answer) | The determiner any is used in negative sentences and questions to mean "not even one" or "not a single". | She doesn't have any brother. |
| (4) each | Each refers to every one of a group taken separately. "I don't have each selfish friend" makes no sense. | – |
