The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation


Concept: The word ``so'' is used to show a result or consequence. The second part of the sentence should logically follow as a result of the first. Step 1:Understand the sentence.
\[ \text{Cause: I hurt my knee quite badly} \] \[ \text{Expected result: A serious consequence} \]
Step 2:Analyze each option:
  • (A) I did not have the right running shoes → Not a result, unrelated cause.
  • (B) I did not have the bandage → Not a direct consequence.
  • (C) it was bleeding profusely → Describes condition, but not a clear action/result.
  • (D) I had to go to hospital → Correct; logical result of serious injury.

Step 3:Form the correct sentence: \[ \text{I hurt my knee quite badly so I had to go to hospital.} \]
