The toddler asked for more pieces of cake, but she wasn't given (more cake).
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Any.
Context: The sentence is negative (“wasn’t given”), so the correct word should fit with negative sentences to indicate an indefinite quantity.
Meaning of the words:
Two – A specific number; too precise for this context
None – Means “not even one”; grammatically possible but less natural here
Any – Used in negative sentences or questions to refer to an indefinite quantity
Many – Refers to a large number; usually used in positive statements
Correct word: Any
Reason: After analyzing the meanings and usage, “any” correctly fits in negative sentences to replace “more cake.”
Final Sentence: The toddler asked for more pieces of cake, but she wasn’t given any.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
