Agbo says he is not afraid of .......?
A
anybody
B
nothing
C
nobody
D
no one
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
People often use nobody as in: "Agbo says he is not afraid of nobody" but this is incorrect as it contains a double negative. In standard English grammar, double negatives are generally avoided because they can create confusion. The correct way to express the idea without a double negative is "Agbo says he is not afraid of anybody."
So the appropriate option is: A. anybody

....... his illness, Muhammad could not come to school?
A
wtih reference to
B
referring to
C
owing to
D
due to
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
Owing to” vs “Due to”. The perceived error is that due to must be attached to a noun.
Example of when to use due to ''The old trade union movement is a dead horse, largely due to the incompetency of the leaders.''
Example of when to use owing to ''The road is closed owing to flooding.”
Explanation: due to is adjectival and owing to is adverbial. The road was closed owing to flooding. For the road to be “due to” anything, it would have to be something that influenced the existence of the road: The road was due to the efforts of local citizens who voted to raise taxes for its construction.
is it therefore right to say ''due to his illness, Muhammad could not come to school'' because it is followed by the noun mohammed''.
