1."no"(a)

Use 'no' + noun to make a sentence negative without 'not'. 'There are no eggs' = 'There aren't any eggs'.

2."None"(b)

Use 'none' when it replaces a noun already mentioned. 'None' stands alone = 'no tickets'. We don't say 'No' by itself as an answer to 'how many'.

3."any"(a)

Use 'any' in negative sentences. 'Can't find' is negative, so we use 'any of my keys'.

4."None"(d)

Use 'none of' + noun/pronoun. 'None of the students' = not one of them passed. 'No' cannot be followed by 'of the'.

5."no"(c)

Use 'no' + noun to make a negative statement without 'not'. 'She has no patience' is more emphatic than 'She doesn't have any patience'.
