She is enough wise not to interfere in their matter, once being insulted publicly by them.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. She is enough wise
Error Concept: Incorrect word order and use of "enough" with adjectives.
What is wrong: The phrase "enough wise" is grammatically incorrect. When "enough" is used with adjectives, it is placed after the adjective, not before.
Grammar Concept:
-
The structure is: adjective + enough (e.g., wise enough, strong enough)
-
Not: enough + adjective
Incorrectness of the concept in context:
“Enough wise” violates the standard word order of adjective usage with “enough.”
Correction: Replace "enough wise" with "wise enough"
Corrected phrase: She is wise enough
Final sentence: She is wise enough not to interfere in their matter, once being insulted publicly by them.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
