(B) He is too rich and he starve.
(C) He is too rich to starve.
(D) He is too rich not to starve.

Question from UPPSC Prelims CSAT 2024

Correct Answer: (C) He is too rich to starve.

Explanation:

– (A) He is rich enough to starve: Incorrect. This implies that being rich makes him capable of starving, which is illogical.

– (B) He is too rich and he starve: Incorrect. The grammar is wrong (“he starve” should be “he starves”), and the sentence doesn’t make sense.

– (C) He is too rich to starve: Correct. This means that his wealth prevents him from being in a situation where he would starve. The structure “too…to” is used correctly here.

– (D) He is too rich not to starve: Incorrect. This implies that being rich causes him to starve, which is contradictory and illogical.

Thus, the correct sentence is “He is too rich to starve.”
