Correct Answer: was smooth as the most timid of


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

"As" is used to denote quality. It is used when a sentence contains adjectives in the positive and comparative forms.

In the given question, "as__as" should be used to compare the smoothness of the passage to the level of smoothness that the most timid of navigators could desire.

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: "Our passage across the Arabian Sea was as smooth as the most timid of navigators could desire."
