Correct Answer: as tall as an


Solution : The second option is correct.

  • The structure " as...as" is used for the positive degree of an adjective or adverb.
  • The conjunction " as...as" is used to compare different things.
  • The sentence talks about the ostrich being the tallest bird.
  • In the latter part of the sentence, the article an will be used before the noun "ostrich" as it begins with the vowel sound.
  • As per the points given above, as tall as an is the correct choice in the underlined part of the sentence.

Hence, the correct sentence would be: No other bird is as tall as an ostrich.
