Preview: Explanations
1."any"(b)
Use 'any' after 'not'. 'Didn't have' is negative, so we need 'any' before the noun 'bread'.
2."someone"(a)
Use 'someone' in affirmative sentences. The speaker knows a person is there — a positive fact.
3."Any"(b)
'Any' in a positive sentence means 'it doesn't matter which'. The speaker has no preference.
4."no"(c)
Use 'no' + noun to make the sentence negative. 'No money left' is confirmed by 'I spent it all'.
5."something"(a)
Use 'something' in questions when making an offer. 'Would you like...?' is an offer.
