Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct option is the first option.

It improves the sentence by providing a more appropriate word choice. Respite means a short period of rest or relief from something difficult or unpleasant and is an uncountable noun. Much respite is the correct choice, as much is used for uncountable nouns and conveys that the rain has brought significant relief from the heat.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The rain brought much respite from the heat.
