No.1 Everybody on campus except me knew that the professor had five sets of examinations, which he used in turn.
Can I use "No one" in this sentence?
In this sentence I am the only person who did not know that the professor had 5 sets of examination papers. If you change to "No-one", then I am the only person who knows this.
No.2
No opportunity is lost---- someone else picks up the ones you miss.
Can I use "anyone else" in this sentence?
Not really - but there is not enough context to say categorically no.
someone = an unknown or unspecified person; anyone = any person or people
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
