Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
My brother is _____ young to be a team leader.

• A. enough
• B. too
• C. yet
• D. much

Answer 1

The correct option is B too

In the sentence, the subject says that his/her brother cannot be a team leader as he is younger than required. In other words, the subject says that his/her brother is extremely young and cannot be a team leader for that reason. Thus, the answer must mean 'extremely'.

Option A is incorrect. 'enough' means 'to an appropriate extent'. It does not mean 'extremely' and thus, cannot be used in the sentence.

Option B is correct. 'too' means 'extremely' or 'to an excessive degree'. Thus, it has the correct meaning and is the correct answer.

Option C is incorrect. 'yet' means 'so far'. It does not indicate any degree of extremity and so, it does not fit in the blank.

Option D is incorrect. 'much' means 'to a great extent'. Although, it is close to the required meaning, it does not express the correct degree of extremity. Thus, it is not the best fit for the blank.
