Answers And Explanation:
① some, as we need a qualifier like an article, before the next noun, and some is the only choice.

Asking about Someone’s Meal

From Twitter:
What’s the usual expression?

① What did you have for lunch?
② What did you chow for lunch?　　
③ What did you eat for lunch?
④ What did you had for lunch?

The answer and explanation is: ① ‘What did you have for lunch?‘ We don’t usually say ‘eat’ (choice ③) unless we want to focus on the physical act of consuming food or unless the listener(s) did not hear ‘have’ after several attempts to ask.
