So absorbed ______ in the book that she missed her stop.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. was she
- Step 1: Fronted 'so + adjective' requires inversion of the verb 'be'.
Answer
was she.
Why not the others: "she was" is wrong because inversion is required after 'So + adjective' at the start. "did she" is wrong because 'did' cannot be used with the linking verb 'be'. "had she" is wrong because the past perfect would shift the time before the missing of the stop.
