Correct Answer: too


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

In this sentence, the word "too" would be used to express an extreme or excessive degree. Here, "too" indicates that the coldness of the water exceeded a comfortable level for drinking. It was beyond what was suitable or acceptable for the person to drink without discomfort, so he couldn't drink it directly.

Also, "too" is an adverb modifying the adjective "cold", expressing an excessive degree.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "The water from the river was too cold for me to drink directly."
