Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at 1, 2 and 3 that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).
He is somehow tall for his age.
(1) No Improvement
(2) rather
(3) many
(4) much
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: rather
Explanation: This option is the correct improvement because "rather" is used to convey a sense of contrast or comparison. In this context, it suggests that the person is taller than expected or taller than the average for their age. It adds nuance to the sentence and clarifies the meaning.
many
- It suggests replacing "somehow" with "many." However, "many tall for his age" is grammatically incorrect and doesn't convey the intended meaning. "Many" is used to indicate a large quantity, not height.
much
- It suggests replacing "somehow" with "much." Similar to option (3), "much tall for his age" is grammatically incorrect and doesn't make sense in the context of describing height. "Much" is used for non-countable nouns and doesn't apply to height.
