Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution'.
I couldn't got some sleep because the people in the next room were talking very loudly.
Option 1: couldn't get some sleep
Option 2: couldn't got any sleep
Option 3: No substitution
Option 4: couldn't get any sleep
Correct Answer: couldn't get any sleep
Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.
The original sentence contains a conjugation error. The correct past tense form of the verb get after couldn't is get, not got.
In negative constructions or questions involving quantity or amount, we often use any instead of some.
Some are used in positive statements and questions when the quantity is not specified, while any are used in negative statements or questions to indicate an absence or lack of quantity.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be "I couldn't get any sleep because the people in the next room were talking very loudly".
