Someone who is taciturn is reserved, not loud and talkative. The word itself refers to the trait of reticence, of seeming aloof and uncommunicative. A taciturn person might be snobby, naturally quiet, or just shy. I had so much more to say. Maybe I was afraid. Maybe I was too scared.
And for some reason on July 31st I had to think about it again. This is for everyone who looks at the world from a different perspective. For everyone who still believes in his or her dreams.
It is usually followed by the word "from" or "between" in this case. Another use for anywhere is to provide emphasis, by describing the huge amount of possible places where something could be or where someone could go. When anywhere is a noun , it means any place. Now that you have learned the differences between nowhere , somewhere , everywhere , and anywhere and have seen some examples of when and how to use each one, you should have no problem using them yourself!
It can be hard sometimes to remember which word is which, especially when there are four of them. If you are ever having trouble, you can use this trick to help yourself remember. The four words all have the same ending, which can make them hard to tell apart, so all that you need to do is remember the beginnings of each, "no," "some," "every" and "any. If you can remember to just look at the beginning of the word and then replace the ending with "place," you should have no problem knowing which is which!
Katie likes to go running for exercise. She runs to the store and to work and everywhere else to stay in good shape. She goes for a run somewhere in the woods near her house and finds a dog. He does not look like he has a home anywhere , so she takes him home with her. She thinks he is probably somewhere around three years old, but could be anywhere from two to five years old. Katie names the dog Spot and takes him for a run.
Somewhere on their street they hear a cat meowing. They look around everywhere but it seems to be coming from nowhere. Katie and Spot look up and see a cat in a tree.

Yes, I mentioned "neither here or there" in my answer. That would have been my choice. But I cannot find "everywhere and nowhere" with that meaning. The question is asking you to think like whoever prepared the exam. Looks to me like English is not their first language. Might as well check "dark matter" as well as "everywhere and nowhere", but the later is the only vaguely correct answer.
