Brief Explanations
To determine the correct usage, we analyze the negative structures:
- For "There wasn't ___ noise...", "any" is correct with "wasn't" (negative contraction), as "any" is used in negative sentences with uncountable nouns like "noise".
- For "There was ___ noise...", "no" is correct as "was" is positive, and "no" directly negates "noise" (equivalent to "not any").
- For "There wasn't ___ way...", "any" is correct with "wasn't", as "any" fits in negative sentences with "way" (a noun here).
- For "There was ___ way...", "no" is correct as "was" is positive, and "no way" is a common phrase meaning "not any way".
