Not ~ any longer/ not ~ any more
The following conversation is from a book I use for my middle school student here in Korea.
The book says the answer of this question is 'd', and I wonder why 'c' cannot be in the blank.
A: Will you give this message to Mr. Smith, please?
B: Sorry, I can't. He _____________________________
a. doesn't any more work here.
b. doesn't any longer here work.
c. doesn't work any more here.
d. doesn't work here any longer.
Always many thanks
