Choose the appropriate option to fill the gap in the following sentences:

Ogedengbe kept goal for his club team because there wasn't .... to do it

  • A nobody else
  • B any other body
  • C any other body
  • D no other body
  • E anybody else

The correct answer is E. anybody else

The correct option to fill in the gap in the sentence “Ogedengbe kept goal for his club team because there wasn’t … to do it” is E. anybody else. So, the completed sentence is: “Ogedengbe kept goal for his club team because there wasn’t anybody else to do it.”

Here’s why:

  • A. nobody else: This option is incorrect because “nobody else” is a double negative when used with “wasn’t”, which is grammatically incorrect in standard English.

  • B. any other body: This option is incorrect because “any other body” is not a standard phrase in English. The correct phrase is “anybody else”.

  • C. any other body: This option is incorrect for the same reason as option B.

  • D. no other body: This option is incorrect because “no other body” is a double negative when used with “wasn’t”, which is grammatically incorrect in standard English.

  • E. anybody else: This is the correct option. “Anybody else” means any other person, which fits in this context where we are saying that there was no other person to keep goal for the club team.
