    Question

    Select the word segment that can substitute and replace the bracketed word correctly and complete the sentence.
    The toddler asked for more pieces of cake, but she wasn't given (more cake).

    A.

    none

    B.

    two

    C.

    many

    D.

    any

    Correct option is D

    The correct option to substitute the bracketed part is (d) any.
    Explanation: In negative sentences, “any” is used instead of “more”.
    Correct sentence: ...but she wasn't given any.
    Example: I don’t have any sugar left.
    Why others are incorrect:
    · (a) None – incorrect structure
    · (b) Two – number specific, not relevant here
    · (c) Many – used with plural countable nouns, doesn’t fit context
    �� Grammar Rule:
    In negative or interrogative sentences, “any” is used to indicate quantity when "more" is not appropriate.
