Question

Transform the following sentence to avoid using 'too':
She was too shy to act on stage. [Intermediate]

• A. She was shy to act on stage.
• B. She was so shy that she could not act on stage.
• C. She was that shy that she preferred not to act on stage.
• D. She preferred not to act on stage being shy.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

She was so shy that she could not act on stage.

A sentence can fall into either of these three kinds of sentences- simple compound, and complex.

The correct answer is B)She was so shy that she could not act on stage.

Option B) is correct as the given sentence contains one independent and one dependent clause so the conjunction 'that' is used to avoid using 'too' in the sentence.

Options A, C, and D are not correct as the impact of 'too' is not transformed anywhere in the option, 'that' is wrongly structured, and 'preferred' cannot be used respectively.
