Many of us often think with dismay that ______ knows what we are going through.
a. nobody b. none Are they both correct? If not, could you explain some? Thanks! |

I feel I go for [a] since [b] doesn't make sense.

Ismael's right, Kis, that only a works in this sentence.
The reason that b doesn't work is simply that it's a substitute pronoun, but since we have no idea what it's substituting for, it doesn't make sense. Remember that none really is a contraction of "not one," so the logical question in this case would be, "Not one what?" Richard |
