Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. too much clear to me.

  • The error lies in option 4.
  • The error lies in using the quantifier 'too much' in the second part of the sentence.

  • We use too much or too many + noun to mean more than we want or need of something.

  • Clear is an adjective whose comparative form is clearer which means easy to perceive, understand, or interpret.

  • To make the sentence correct we can use the quantifier much before clearer.

The correct sentence is:- The concept became much clearer to me after my tutor showed me the diagram.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. too much clear to me.
