Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
I'm _______ hungry. I could eat a horse.

• A. so
• B. such a
• C. such
• D. so much

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

so

Answer : A

Adverbs of degree are words used to describe degree of a quality or action.

Some grammar rules for using "so" and "such":

• "Such" is used before noun, noun with the indefinite article "a"/"an" --> Such + [noun phrase]
• "So" is used before adjectives or adverbs --> So + [adjective phrase] / [adverb phrase]
• "So" can be used with "much", "many" or "few" to add emphasis.

Here in the sentence, "hungry" is an adjective. Therefore, "so" is the suitable option.

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

I'm SO hungry.
