Question

Choose the best word or phrase to complete the sentence below. Why and explain your answer with grammar. Albert Einstein was a German born physicist, but most people probably know him as the most intelligent_____in the world. It is commom to use his name when we want to say someone is a genius, as in the phrase, "She's a real Einstein." A) Person B) People C) Men D) woman

Answer 1

A. person.

People and men are plural forms, hence these words can't be used here. Woman is not correct because Einstein wasn't a female individual, nor did he identified himself as such.

Answer 2

1) person

As outras não dão porque:

Men= homens (está no plural)

People= pessoas ( mais de uma)

Woman= mulher ( o texto se refere ao Einstein.

Essa parte exige um sujeito no singular.
