Question

Choose the most appropriate word to fill in the blank:
He was so tired that he ____ walk.

• A. easily
• B. hardly
• C. completely
• D. mostly

Hint:

“So tired that…” typically leads to a negative or minimal ability. “Hardly” fits best in such contexts.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- The phrase “so tired that…” usually indicates a negative result.
- “Hardly” means “almost not,” which fits the context of being extremely tired.
- “He was so tired that he could hardly walk” implies he was barely able to walk.
- “Easily” would contradict the idea of being tired. “Completely” and “mostly” are inappropriate in this sentence structure.
