Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
With all six textbooks inside, Tanvi’s school bag is now ______ it was in Class 3.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → twice as heavy as
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
“Twice as ... as”:
To say that one thing is two or three times another, we use twice / three times + as + adjective + as. “Twice” comes first, before the first “as”. The second word is also “as”, never “than”. Here the bag now is compared with the bag in Class 3. So the blank takes “twice as heavy as”.
Complete sentence: With all six textbooks inside, Tanvi’s school bag is now twice as heavy as it was in Class 3.
