@Cerridwyn@ExtraMedium Interesting. What if the dialog went:
Is there a positive answer to any of these questions?
No, there is no positive answer to any of these questions.
I believe this still works. It seems the singular/plural sense would depend on the context of what is asked.
Of course the answer could also be yours:
No, there are no positive answers to any of these questions.
But I still think the singular answer would be ‘legal.’
OK I agree now. I realize that if there were multiple questions, there would be multiple answers. So it would have to be plural. I withdraw my objection.
“What is Man?” they’ll ask.
Or perhaps: “What is a city?”
Or: “What is a war?”
There is no positive answer to any of these questions.
@ExtraMedium Grammar Police says “There are no positive answers to any of these questions.”
I’ll see myself out
