Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
Planets in our solar system close and big for them to twinkle.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. are too close and big.
The underlined part in the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
It lacks the correct verb and modifiers to explain why planets do not twinkle.
The phrase "too close and big" correctly conveys that their closeness and size prevent twinkling.
"Too + adjective" is used to indicate that something is in excess and has an effect.
Example: This bag is too heavy for me to carry.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
