Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. He was enough tall.

We use 'enough' as an adverb directly after an adjective or directly after another adverb.

We have to use the positive degree of adjective/adverb before 'enough'. i.e. tall enough, short enough, strangely enough, etc. 

Correct Answer: He was tall enough to be admitted into the armed forces.

Hence, He was enough tall is the correct option.
