Question

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:

She is so tall.

• A. very
• B. NO CHANGE
• C. almost
• D. that

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The correct answer is Option A.

'So' is used to express degree. Here in the given sentence we are to identify the option that aptly expresses the degree of her tallness.

'Almost' is used in the meaning of 'not completely'.

In the given sentence the adverb of degree 'so; is used. This means that 'she' is 'tall' to a level of completeness. Therefore Option B is the incorrect option.

Option C- 'That' is used to describe something, it does not express degree. Hence it is the incorrect option.

Option D- 'No change' is not the correct answer because the sentence is incomplete. The adverb 'so' is always followed by 'that'; for e.g. 'she is so tall that...'

'Very' correctly denotes the meaning of her degree of tallness. Hence it is the correct option.
