Question

Choose the correct words to complete the sentence:
It was ___ cold ___ we couldn’t go out.

• A. so, that
• B. too, to
• C. neither, nor
• D. either, or

Hint:

Use \textbf{``so...that''} when a condition leads to a result.
Example: It was so hot that we stayed inside.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: The structure ``so...that'' is used to show cause and result. It indicates that something happens to such an extent that it leads to a particular outcome.

• ``so + adjective + that + result''

Step 1:Analyze the sentence structure.
The sentence expresses a result:
\[ \text{The cold was extreme } \Rightarrow \text{ we couldn’t go out.} \]
Step 2:Check each option:

• (A) so, that → Correct structure for cause and result.
• (B) too, to → Used as ``too + adjective + to + verb'', but here we need a clause (``we couldn’t go out''), not an infinitive.
• (C) neither, nor → Used for negative pairing, not suitable here.
• (D) either, or → Used for choices, not cause-result.

Step 3:Form the correct sentence: \[ \text{It was so cold that we couldn’t go out.} \]
