Choose the most suitable word to complete the sentence: "During the debate, it became evident that ______ was willing to defend the proposal after the factual errors were exposed."
nobody
Once the factual errors in the proposal were exposed, the natural and logical outcome is that no one wished to defend it any longer.
The word "nobody" fits this meaning by expressing a complete absence of willingness among the debaters.
"Anybody" does not suit this affirmative statement since it typically appears in questions or negative constructions, while "somebody" and "somebody else" would wrongly suggest that a defender was still available.
