I have not use of these book.

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. no use for this.

Context:The sentence expresses that the speaker does not have any purpose for the book.

Meaning of the words:
Use (noun): The act of using something.
For: Indicates purpose.
This/These: Determiners used based on number (singular/plural).

Correct phrase: no use for this

Reason:The subject is singular — "this book" (not plural "these books"), so “this” is appropriate.The phrase “no use for this” correctly follows standard English structure.The original sentence “I have not use of these book” is grammatically incorrect due to wrong article usage ("use of") and number mismatch ("these book").

Final Sentence: I have no use for this.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
