Detailed Solution

Concept-Rajat bought some cheese, but he didn’t buy any bread.
Indefinite pronouns do not assign to a specific person, place, or thing. In English, there is a specific group of indefinite pronouns formed with a disjunctive or distributive preceded by any, some, every and no.
In the given sentence, the person wants to say that the subject bought only cheese and not bread. So, we need to refer to cheese in a positive way and bread in a negative way
Currently, we know what we have to look for. Let’s go through the given options:
1. few, any - This option does not simplify the meaning of the sentence any further. This does not fit in the sentence. Therefore, this is an incorrect option.
2. some, any - This option clarifies and simplifies the meaning of the given sentence and it is placed perfectly into the given sentence. Therefore, this is the correct option.
