✔ 最佳答案
首先談談no的用法,no其實可與可數名詞的單數、複數或不可數名詞連用。如:
No words can express my grief(我的憂傷無法用言語表達)(複數可數名詞)
No student is to leave the room(學生不得離開這房間)(單數可收名詞)
I have no time at all to write to you(我根本沒有時間給你寫信)
又如:Cambridge Dictionary Online,就有以下例子
There are no pockets in these trousers.
There is no butter left

由此,可見
1. No, there is no elephant in the park.(對)
2. No, there is no elephants in the park.(就不對,因要用are)
3. No, there are no elephants in the park.(對)
4. No, there are no elephant in the park(不對,要用is)
現在再談any,any可與可數複數名詞,或不可數名詞連用,如:
I didn't eat any meat(我一點兒的肉都沒有吃)
Are there any stamps in that drawer?(那抽屜裏有郵票嗎?)
但當與可數單數名詞連用在普通句子時,它的意思就變成”任何一個”,如:
Take any book you like(你喜歡哪本書就拿哪本)
又用於否定句或疑問句中或不否定含義的句中,可與單數可數名詞連用,其意是一個one,如:
I can't see any door in this room.(我在這房間連一隻門也看不到)
Hasn't it got any tail?
由此可見,5,6句都是對的,要看你的意思
5是:公園連一隻大象都沒有
6是:公園沒有任何的大象

希望幫到你!其實你查看各大字典都有解釋

但因為問題用”Are there any elephants in the park?”所以,你最好還是答:No, there are not any elephants in the park.但No, there is no elephant in the park或No, there are no elephants in the park亦未嘗不可

3 and 6 are correct. 6 puts more emphasis on "no". However, in modern English, 1 is also very popular.

(3)是正確的。如果你用中文來説,你會説︰「這裡没有大笨象」你不會説︰「這裡没有一隻大笨象」
這樣說,應該用雙數。
如果你的subject是雙數,你就應該把verb變成雙數;用are
你現在需要一個subject和verb都是雙數的句字:
那就是(3)和(6)
其實(6)都是正確的,可是比較複雜。(3)就比較簡單。

再加上,你的問題是用are所以回答的時候都應該用are
