Question

Complete the sentence:
No other district in Tamil Nadu is __________ Tanjore.
a) so fertile as
b) most fertile than
c) more fertile
d) as fertile as

Answer 1

Hint: Conjugation is a class of verbs having the same inflectional forms. It is the complete set of inflected forms of a verb.

Complete answer:
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (a.), 'so fertile as', refers to ‘so’ which is an adverb which means ‘to a very great extent or degree’. Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as it is not suitable for this sentence.
Option (b.), ‘most fertile than', refers to ‘most’ which is an adjective used to form the superlative. Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as we need a conjugation here.
Option (c.), ‘more fertile as', refers to ‘more’ which is an adjective which means ‘(comparative of `much' used with mass nouns) a quantifier meaning greater in size or amount or extent or degree’. Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as we need a conjugation here.
Option (d.), ‘as fertile as', refers to the conjugation ‘as + verb + as’ which is defined as ‘Introducing a basis of comparison, after as, so, or a comparison of equality.’ Therefore, option (d.) is the correct answer

Note:
In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall what all ‘as’ is used for. As an adverb, ‘as’ is defined as ‘to the same degree (often followed by `as')’, and as a conjugation, it also is defined as ‘In the same way that; according to what.’
