Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct option is the second option.
Explanation:
In the original sentence, farther is used, which typically means a physical distance. But in this context, we're talking about additional comments, not physical distance. So, further is the appropriate word to use here because it means additional comments.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The doctor made no further comments to justify his action.
