Answer 1

Answer:

B. The movie was so scary that I couldn’t watch it alone

• The movie was so scary that I couldn’t watch it alone. "Couldn't" accurately reflects the meaning of being unable to watch the movie alone because it was too scary. / വളരെ ഭയാനകമായതിനാൽ ഒറ്റയ്ക്ക് സിനിമ കാണാൻ കഴിയാത്തതിൻ്റെ അർത്ഥം "Couldn't" കൃത്യമായി പ്രതിഫലിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.
• The movie was so scary that I shouldn’t watch it alone. Incorrect. "Shouldn't" implies advice or recommendation (ഉപദേശത്തെയോ ശുപാർശയെയോ സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു), not inability due to fear.
• The movie was so scary that I should watch it alone. Incorrect. This implies the opposite meaning, suggesting that because it was scary, one should watch it alone. / ഇത് വിപരീത അർത്ഥത്തെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു, ഇത് ഭയപ്പെടുത്തുന്നതിനാൽ ഒരാൾ അത് ഒറ്റയ്ക്ക് കാണണമെന്ന് നിർദ്ദേശിക്കുന്നു.
• The movie was so scary that I could watch it alone. Incorrect. This changes the meaning entirely, suggesting an ability to watch it alone rather than an inability.
