He has hardly _____ money for his survival.

  • A.Few
  • B.A few
  • C.Some
  • D.Any

Answer: D

The correct word is Any: 'He has hardly any money for his survival.'

Hardly is a negative adverb, meaning almost not. Like other negatives it is followed by any rather than some: 'hardly any money', 'hardly anyone', 'hardly ever'.

Some is used in affirmative sentences, so 'hardly some money' is wrong. Few and a few go with countable plural nouns ('a few coins'), while money is uncountable, so neither fits.
