Complete the hungry roommate's dramatic declaration.

"I searched the entire kitchen for chocolate chips, but there are ___ left in the pantry!"

The correct answer is none.

None is a pronoun that replaces a noun (in this case, "no chocolate chips"). We use it when the noun is already understood from the context and is omitted.

No is incorrect because it is a determiner and must be followed directly by a noun (e.g., "there are no chocolate chips left"). Any would require a negative verb (e.g., "there aren't any left").
