Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
It is a proven fact that _______ living being can survive without water.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. no.

The sentence means that not a single living being can survive without water.

The correct negative determiner to use before a singular noun like "living being" is "no".

Option 1 (none) is generally used without a noun or with plural nouns.

Option 3 (any) is used in questions or negatives, not in positive statements like this.

Option 4 (neither) is used when referring to two things, but here it’s about all living beings.
