The sentence implies that the Head was excessively busy that he was not able to go through these files and resolve the matter.
|
The structure “too….to” should be used in the sentence. ‘Too’ means ‘to a higher degree than is desirable, permissible, or possible; excessively’. ‘Too’ should be used instead of ‘so’. For ex: He was too nervous to perform well on stage. Hence, option 1 is the correct.
