Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The original sentence has the word order reversed. In English, we typically use the word order "subject + verb + adjective/adverb" instead of "adjective/adverb + subject + verb." Therefore, the correct word order is "He was so hoarse," which makes the sentence grammatically correct.
