All, Any or Most?

Did you type 'kind' correctly. or did you mean to type 'kinds'?

AnonymousAll, Any, Most

Both "all" and "most" require the plural "kinds", so that doesn't leave you much choice, does it?

Hi, CalifJim.

We can use "all" with uncountable nouns right? For example, "All the bread in the kitchen went bad."

I agree that "All kind of" expression sounds awkward.

All right what does any mean in this context?

Any kind of energy on our planet comes ultimately from the sun.

Any = All? I'm confused.

No it isn't. It's a multiple choice grammar question. Context is somewhat limited, only one short sentence, that's all.

So the question must have the singular "kind." That leaves one legitimate choice.
If it were plural (kinds), and not a physics test, then you would have two choices.

One criterion of test design is to have only one pos

Thanks for the answers

Yes. Any does mean all in that example.
