A.5 Language Study. 2) It was too dark to see who it was. (Choose the alternative showing the correct replacement of 'too-----to'). The structure "too + adjective + to + verb" implies a negative meaning, meaning something is so [adjective] that it cannot [verb]. The correct transformation uses "so + adjective + that + subject + could not + verb" (since the original sentence is in the past tense). Let's evaluate the options: i) It was so dark that they could see who it was. (Incorrect, changes the meaning to positive) ii) It was so dark that they could see who it was not. (Incorrect, changes the meaning) iii) It was so dark that they could not see who it was. (Correct, maintains the original negative meaning and past tense) iv) It was so dark that they could to see who it was. (Incorrect grammar, "could to see" is wrong) The correct alternative is: iii) It was so dark that they could not see who it was. That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
