Question

Fill in the blank with the suitable conjunction from the options given:
The old lady is _______ weak that she cannot walk.

• A. as
• B. and
• C. so
• D. such

Answer 1

The correct option is C so

Option A - 'As' is used to explain reasons and to make comparisons in a sentence. For example, 'I didn't go to school as I was sick.' or 'She was as tall as the giraffe.' As the given sentence doesn't explain any reason or comparison, we can't use 'as' here. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'And' is used to connect two related clauses or sentences in a sentence. For example, 'I like black and red colours.' As the given sentence doesn't join two related clauses, we can't use 'and' here. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option D - 'Such' is a predetermined, determiner and pronoun. it means 'of the type previously or to be mentioned.' For example, 'My work involves many such responsibilities.' As the given sentence doesn't explain anything that is predetermined or will be determined. Thus option D is incorrect.

Option C - 'So' is used as a conjunctional adverb or adjective to define its degree. For example, 'She is so happy.' As the sentence has an adjective 'weak', we can use 'so' to explain its degree. Thus option C is the correct answer.

'The old lady is so weak that she cannot walk.'
