Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: No substitution

Explanation: The correct answer is B.✅ The phrase "too exhausted to" is grammatically correct and follows the standard structure: too + adjective + to + verb Correct sentence: Anshima was too exhausted to continue the race. ❌Much exhausted to" is incorrect—“much” does not pair with “too” in this structure. ❌"Too exhausted for" is incorrect unless followed by a noun, not a verb. ❌"So exhausted to" is incorrect usage; the correct pair is "so...that" (e.g., so exhausted that she couldn’t continue).
