Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. nothing else.

  • "Nothing else" is a suitable substitute for "nothing" in the given sentence.
  • This phrase means that there is nothing in addition to pride, emphasizing the singular focus on that emotion.
  • The use of "else" implies that there are other possibilities, but in this case, there are none.
  • The sentence structure is grammatically correct, with "nothing" being the subject and "else" serving as an adverb modifying it.
