Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
In this context, "any more" is suitable as it implies that the uncle cannot rise from his bed to a greater extent or any longer. It indicates a limitation or inability to continue the action of rising. Moreover, we cannot use "couldn't" and "no more together", as we do not use double negatives in the same sentence.
Other Options :
-
Any farther: "Farther" typically refers to physical distance.
-
Any further: While "further" is a valid choice, "any more" better conveys the sense of the uncle's inability to continue rising from the bed.
Any more: This is the correct alternative, conveying the intended meaning of not being able to rise from the bed to a greater extent or any longer.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "My uncle couldn’t rise up from his bed any more ."
