Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

The box was ______ heavy for that little child to carry.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. too.

  • The phrase "too heavy" implies an overwhelming or insurmountable challenge for the child in terms of lifting or carrying the box.
  • The sentence "The box was too heavy for that little child to carry" uses the word "too" to indicate that the heaviness of the box exceeds the child's ability to carry it.
