Question

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

He is so strong.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B very

The correct answer is Option B.

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

'Almost' and 'some' are used in the meaning of 'not completely' and 'unspecified' amount respectively.

In the given sentence the adverb of degree 'so; is used. This means that 'he' is strong to a level of completeness. Therefore Option A and C are not the suitable options.

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. 'he is so strong that...'

'Very' correctly denotes the meaning of complete strength. Hence it is the correct option.
