In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fill(s) the gap:
…. to help him, being the only person in the vicinity.
- it was not possible
-
There was no one
- He had no nobody
- No person was around
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
"There was no one to help him, being the only person in the vicinity."
"There was no one" correctly fits the sentence structure. It suggests that no one was present to assist him. "It was not possible" would not work as it doesn't convey the idea of being alone. "He had no nobody" is grammatically incorrect (double negative). "No person was around"** is awkwardly phrased and less natural than the other options.
