Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

He is _________ tired to finish his homework.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. too.

Context: The sentence describes someone being so tired that they are unable to finish their homework. This is a case of excess or beyond a limit, which requires the word “too.”

Correct phrase: 'too tired to…” is a common structure used to indicate that someone is unable to do something because of being overly tired (or any other reason).

Meaning of the options:

  • Most: Indicates the highest degree; doesn’t fit the structure.

  • Too: Means excessively; correct in this context.

  • To: A preposition or part of the infinitive verb; grammatically incorrect here on its own.

  • More: Comparative; does not suit the sentence’s structure.

Final Sentence: He is too tired to finish his homework.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
