Question

Anita looked …sadder…much more excited that day. A)both…orB)as…asC)so…asD)such…thatE)not only…but also

Answer 1

Ответ:

E) not only…but also

Объяснение:

Anita looked not only sadder but also much more excited that day.

В тот день Анита выглядела не только печальнее, но и более взволнованной.

Остальные ответы не подходят:

*Both обычно используется в сочетании с союзом and, а не or.

*Конструкция с as...as/so...as предполагает использование прилагательных в начальной (положительной/нейтральной) степени, а в предложении сравнительная степень.

*such... that тоже не подходит, such используется перед существительными, а не перед прилагательными!

Answer 2

Anita looked not only sadder but also much more excited that day.

Answer 3

The correct answer is C) so...as.

The phrase "Anita looked...sadder...much more excited that day" is comparing Anita's appearance on that particular day to her usual state. To make this comparison, we need to use the structure "so...as" to indicate the degree of difference between the two states.

Option C) "so...as" fits this structure perfectly. It would be correct to say "Anita looked so much sadder and so much more excited that day."

Let's break down the other options and see why they are incorrect:

A) "both...or" is not suitable for this context because it is used to present two options or alternatives, not to compare degrees of difference.

B) "as...as" is used to show equality or similarity, not to compare degrees of difference. For example, "Anita looked as sad as she did excited that day."

D) "such...that" is used to show a cause and effect relationship, not to compare degrees of difference. For example, "Anita looked such sad that she couldn't hide her excitement."

E) "not only...but also" is used to present two parallel ideas or actions, not to compare degrees of difference. For example, "Anita was not only sad but also excited that day."

Therefore, the correct answer is C) "so...as".
