A so massive that neither light nor matter can escape its
B massive enough that either light or matter cannot escape their
C too massive for either allowing light or matter to escape its
D too massive that neither light nor matter can escape its
E so massive that neither light nor matter could escape their

OA =


I don't know what "too" would be wrong to use here but A sounded better so A.

Re: The black hole has entered the popular imagination as an [#permalink]
A is the right answer.
B and E are wrong because of SV Agreement. Their - it's
C and D are idiomatic mistakes. So massive is correct

Re: The black hole has entered the popular imagination as an [#permalink]
Hi abhimahna, bb,
Can you Please edit the question so that the word "too" is removed and "as" is inserted to give a proper meaning.
I didn't even read option A and was wondering why there is no correct option.
:)

B massive enough that either light or matter cannot escape their
C too massive for either allowing light or matter to escape its
D too massive that neither light nor matter can escape its
E so massive that neither light nor matter could escape their


Answer A. Uses the correct Idiom " So + (adj) + that" to express the extreme nature of a Black Hole. Also has correct pronoun. Black Hole.....its.

Thanks,

Re: The black hole has entered the popular imagination as an [#permalink]
So that is right usage here
too massive , massive enough are not right usages

B/W A and E
A is correct answer as it correctly uses present tense for showing characteristic
