Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. His school was 7 km away from his house. I wondered how he covered so long distance daily on foot (a) so long the distance (b) No Improvement (c) such long distance (d) such a long distance

Options

A. so long the distance
B. No Improvement
C. such long distance
D. such a long distance

Answer

D

Explanation

so long distance. should be replaced with such a long distance.. The phrase .so long distance is grammatically incorrect. The determiner "such. means to a high degree, so great (often used to emphasize a quality). and it conveys the intended meaning in the sentence. The underlined segment should be replaced with such a long distance../
