Raju could not get ______ sugar.

Afew

Bany

Csome

DAll of the above

Answer:

B. any

Read Explanation:

  • "Few" is used with countable nouns (എണ്ണാവുന്ന നാമങ്ങൾക്കൊപ്പം) and implies a small number of items. Since "sugar" is an uncountable noun (എണ്ണാനാവാത്ത), "few" is not appropriate here. 
  • "Any" is used in negative sentences (not is used here) and questions to indicate an indefinite amount of something, especially when referring to an uncountable noun like sugar (നെഗറ്റീവ് വാക്യങ്ങളിലും ചോദ്യങ്ങളിലും എന്തിൻ്റെയെങ്കിലും അനിശ്ചിതമായ അളവ് സൂചിപ്പിക്കാൻ ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു, പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് പഞ്ചസാര പോലെയുള്ള എണ്ണമറ്റ നാമത്തെ പരാമർശിക്കുമ്പോൾ). 
    • Example: "Raju could not get any sugar."
  • "Some" is used in positive sentences to indicate an indefinite amount of something. However, in negative sentences, "any" is more commonly used.
