Question

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

He was that tired that he did not bother eating dinner but went straight to bed.

• A. only
• B. so
• C. this
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

so

The correct answer is B) so as it indicates the extent of his tiredness.

Options A, C, and D are wrong as 'only' indicates that was just tired and doesn't emphasize the fact of him being tired, 'this' indicates a particular point of tiredness, and the given sentence is not correct respectively.

He was so tired that he did not bother eating dinner but went straight to bed.
