1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
They were ____ that they didn't get anything to eat.

such late

Solution

In the given sentence, we need to use a conjunction of condition to suggest that the subjects arrived late and thus, did not get any food.
Option A is incorrect. 'such late' is an adverb of degree. Thus, it is the wrong answer as it does not make sense.
Option B is correct. 'so late' is correct as 'so' in the phrase completes the conjunction of condition, 'so...that'.
Option C is incorrect. 'too' in 'too late', according to rules of usage cannot be used with 'that' as a conjunction of condition. Thus, using it will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Option D is incorrect. 'very late' is an adverb of degree. Thus, it is the wrong answer as it does not make sense.
