Help the detective complete his final report on the bizarre museum heist by choosing the correct quantifier for each blank.

The inspector noted that the thieves left no fingerprints behind, and strangely, they triggered none of the alarms on their way out. He interrogated the night guards and quickly found that every one of them was hiding something. To make matters worse, it seems that a great deal of the stolen artwork is already overseas.

no is a determiner used directly before a noun ("no fingerprints"). We cannot use "none of" without a determiner like "the" or "my".

none of the is required because "alarms" is preceded by the specific determiner "the".

every one of is used before pronouns like "them". We cannot say "every of them" or "every them".

a great deal of is used with uncountable nouns like "artwork". "A large number of" is only used with plural countable nouns.
