Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The clown was so funny ______ everybody burst out laughing.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. that.
- That is used as a subordinating conjunction here to introduce a result or consequence of the clown being funny.
- It connects the main clause ("The clown was so funny") with the subordinate clause ("everybody burst out laughing"), indicating the reason or result of the clown's humor.
- Other options like "when" or "and" would not appropriately connect the clauses in the same way or convey the cause-effect relationship indicated by the sentence structure. Thus, that is the correct choice.
- The completed sentence will be "The clown was so funny that everybody burst out laughing."
