fill in the blank spaces in the following sentences making use of the best of the five option

I can’t mind the light. I don't know .... about electricity.

  • A Something
  • B Nothing
  • C Anything
  • D Nobody
  • E Anybody

The correct answer is C. Anything

The correct option to fill in the blanks in the sentence “I can’t mind the light. I don’t know … about electricity.” is C. Anything. So, the completed sentence is: “I can’t mind the light. I don’t know anything about electricity.”

Here’s why:

  • A. Something: This option is incorrect because “something” is used in affirmative sentences, not in negative sentences like this one.

  • B. Nothing: This option is incorrect because we already have a negative in the sentence (“don’t know”). We don’t usually use “nothing” after “don’t know”, we use “anything”.

  • C. Anything: This is the correct option. “Anything” is used in negative sentences or questions. In this context, it means that the speaker has no knowledge about electricity.

  • D. Nobody: This option is incorrect because “nobody” is used to refer to people, not things or concepts like electricity.

  • E. Anybody: This option is incorrect because “anybody” is also used to refer to people, not things or concepts like electricity.
