Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks:
The flower show at the town hall drew ______ a huge crowd ______ the police had to close the main road to traffic.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → such, that
Such ... that is a pair of joining words that go together. It shows a result. “Such” comes before a noun with “a”: “such a huge crowd”. “So” comes before an adjective alone, as in “so huge”. “That” then brings in the result. The police had to close the road.
Complete sentence: The flower show at the town hall drew such a huge crowd that the police had to close the main road to traffic.
