Question

There is not_______(some/any) water in the glass.

Answer 1

Answer:

any is the correct answer

Answer 2

There isn't any water in the glass.

Explanation:

Here 'a/an' means one and 'a/an' are indefinite articles. According to the given extract here 'a/an' are indicating countable noun. But it is impossible to count water. So it is not appropriate for the blank space.

'Some/ any' determines uncountable noun(s). So they are appropriate for the blank space . But 'some' is not acceptable for the blank space because already it is mentioned that there is no water in the glass. So 'any' is perfect for the blank space.

Example: There is some water in the glass.
