Correct Answer: everywhere


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

Explanation ; The original sentence uses anywhere, but for the intended meaning of searching in all possible places, the more appropriate term is everywhere, which conveys the idea of a comprehensive search across all locations, aligning better with the context of looking for the puppy. Anywhere suggests an unspecified or unrestricted location, while everywhere implies all places without exception.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "I looked everywhere for my puppy but could not find it."
