From the words or groups of words below choose the words or group of words that best complete each of the following sentences.
I feel you are none ________ for experiencing that shock.
A. the worse B. Worse C. the worst D. worst
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A. the worse.
- The worse: This is the correct choice because "none the worse" is an idiomatic expression meaning that someone has not been negatively affected by something. The sentence suggests that the speaker believes the person hasn't been adversely impacted by the shock.
- Worse: This is incorrect because it doesn't fit the idiom and the intended meaning.
- The worst: This is a superlative form, which is not appropriate in this context since the sentence is not comparing multiple things or experiences.
- Worst: This is incorrect for the same reasons as "the worst."
Summary:
- None the worse is the correct phrase, as it fits the idiomatic expression used to imply that someone is not adversely affected by an experience.
