    Combine the following sentences into one simple sentence. He was very dull. He could not understand.
    Question

    Combine the following sentences into one simple sentence.
    He was very dull. He could not understand.

    A.

    He was so dull and could not understand.

    B.

    He was very dull that he could not understand.

    C.

    He was too dull that he could not understand.

    D.

    He was too dull to understand.

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is (d) He was too dull to understand.
    Explanation:
    To convert two sentences into a simple sentence, we use the "too...to" construction.
    · "Too" indicates an excessive degree.
    · "To understand" is an infinitive phrase acting as the result of being too dull.
    Corrected Sentence: He was too dull to understand.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · "Too + adjective + to + verb" is used to express impossibility or inability due to excessiveness.
    Meanings of other given options:
    · (a) He was so dull and could not understand. → Incorrect because "so dull" needs "that" to complete the meaning. · (b) He was very dull that he could not understand. → Incorrect because "very dull that" is grammatically incorrect; "so dull that" would be correct. · (c) He was too dull that he could not understand. → Incorrect because "too" should be followed by "to," not "that."
