Question : 13

She has not written to me or to some of her other friends since leaving the country.

a) none of her

b) one of her

c) any of her

‘some of her’ conveys the meaning of some friends out of many. But the writer wants to convey that “she has written to no one”.

Therefore, the correct substitute for ‘some of her’ is ‘any of her’.
