Question

Select the correct option:

Their approach proved ___ effective that competitors quickly emulated it.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

so

The sentence uses a result clause introduced by "that" ("effective that competitors quickly emulated it"), which requires the correlative pair "so...that" to express cause and result.

"So" fits before the adjective "effective" to set up the result clause that follows, forming the standard "so + adjective + that" structure.

"Too" pairs with "to" rather than "that" to show an excessive degree preventing an action, "as" is used in comparisons of equality, and "very" does not take a following "that" clause of result, so none of these fit the given sentence structure.

Hence, the answer is so.
