Correct Answer: is not enough big to meet


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The error lies in the placement of enough . The correct structure is "big enough", not "enough big". When enough is placed after the adjective, it describes the adjective, whereas if it is placed before the adjective, it describes the noun phrase. Thus, "big enough" is the correct usage in this case, as it conveys the intended meaning that the container is not as large to meet the demands.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The food container is not big enough to meet the demands of the affected people."
