Fill in the blank with the correct option:

I asked many people the way to the station but _____ of them had any clue about it.

none

The correct answer is Option (1) → none

The context of the sentence implies that the effort of asking "many people" did not yield a successful result; that is, zero people knew the way.

• None means "not one," or "no part of a group." It correctly conveys that zero of the many people asked knew the answer.

• Some means an unspecified amount or number (more than zero), which would contradict the final clause ("had any clue").

• Few means a small number (implying some people had a clue, which contradicts the sentence).

• Everyone means all people, which would also contradict the final clause.
