Help Detective Barnaby complete his rather disappointing crime scene report by choosing the correct word for each blank.
Despite my brilliant investigative skills, there are no fingerprints on the safe. In fact, I haven't found any clues yet. As for reliable witnesses, there are absolutely none.

Use no as a determiner directly before a noun (fingerprints) in a positive sentence to give it a negative meaning.
In fact, I haven't found any clues yet.
Use any with a negative verb (haven't found) to express a zero quantity.
As for reliable witnesses, there are absolutely none.
Use none as a pronoun when there is no noun following it. It stands alone to mean "not a single one."
