Nobody has answered my question

  • A.My question has been answered by somebody
  • B.My question has not been answered by anybody
  • C.My question was not answered
  • D.My question remains unanswered

Answer: B

Correct answer: My question has not been answered by anybody

The negative lives in the subject nobody, and when that subject moves into the by phrase the negation has to be carried by the verb instead: has not been answered… by anybody.

This is why nobody becomes anybody. Keeping somebody reverses the meaning entirely, and the remaining options quietly change the tense or drop the agent the question asks you to keep.
