Please answer it with explanation.

Answer 1

some sugar from the shop

Answer 2

Did you buy some sugar from the shop?

• The sentence given should be filled with a determiner. Here we are determining the amount of sugar and this comes under uncountable nouns.
• The word "any" cannot be used as a determiner as "any" is used for negative sentences or for sentences with question marks.
• The determiner "some" is the correct answer as this is used for uncountable nouns with positive sentences.
• Therefore, the correct answer is "some".
