He never talks / for anybody. / He is alone / all day.

A.

He is alone

B.

for anybody

C.

He never talks

D.

all day

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error.

· Correct sentence: He never talks to anybody.
· Grammatical rule: The verb "talk" is followed by the preposition "to" when referring to the listener.
· Example: She talks to her friends every day.
