Question

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:
He is so strong.
A. Almost
B. Very
C. Some
D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

Hint: In the sentence, "so" has been used as a degree of being strong, thus, the correct word will also express the degree of strength.

Complete step by step answer:
To choose the correct option which corrects the sentence, first analyse each option individually.

Almost: if we use "almost" in place of "so" the sentence reads, "He is almost strong", it displays unspecified amount or strength or not complete strength. For example, I have almost completed my homework.
Very: if we use "very" in place of "so" the sentence reads, "He is very strong", it displays that he is completely strong and more. For example, the statue is very big.
Some: if we use "some" in place of "so" the sentence reads, "He is some strong", it also displays not complete or unspecified amount of strength. For example, I need some advice for my new video.
NO CHANGE: this option means that "so" will remain unchanged.

So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note:
In this sentence "so" is an adverb which specifies a great extent or a degree.
Example: He is so strong that he could break the bricks.
It is also used before the verbs ‘have’, ‘be’ or ‘do’ and other auxiliary verbs to mean ‘the same way’ or ‘ a similarity’.
Example: He hasn’t completed the project yet, so haven’t I.
Example: She loves watching movies, so do I.
