Choose the correct comparison structure:
Few solutions were ____ promising as this one.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. so
Explanation:
The word “Few” gives a negative or restrictive sense, meaning almost none. In such contexts, the correct comparison structure is “so…as” instead of “as…as.” Hence, “so” fits correctly to form “so promising as.”
Option Analysis:
so – correct because it forms “so…as” structure used in negative or restrictive sentences
as – used in “as…as” for positive equality, not suitable with “few”
that – does not form a valid comparison structure here
too – shows excess, not comparison
