Didn't you buy ____ when you went shopping?
View worked solution
Answer: A
The correct option is A.
The sentence is a negative question: "Didn't you buy ________ when you went shopping?"
- any paper: The determiner "any" is standardly used in negative sentences and questions with both uncountable and plural countable nouns to ask about or refer to an indefinite quantity. Here, "paper" is an uncountable noun, making "any paper" grammatically correct and natural.
- no paper: Using "no" here creates a grammatically incorrect double negative (Didn't + no).
- a few paper: "A few" must be followed by a plural countable noun (e.g., a few papers or a few sheets of paper). It cannot be used directly with the uncountable noun "paper".
- much paper: While grammatically possible in some negative contexts, "any" is the most natural and standard choice when inquiring about whether a purchase was made at all.
