Match each description with the sentence that uses the construction correctly.
1. The construction "too + adjective + to-infinitive" shows that the degree is excessive, so the action is impossible.
2. The construction "adjective + enough + to-infinitive" shows that the degree is sufficient for the action.

Row 1: the pattern "too + adjective + to-infinitive" is used in "The soup is too hot to eat." The soup is so hot that it cannot be eaten. "The soup is so hot to eat." is wrong because "so" needs "that" and a clause. Row 2: "enough" comes after the adjective, so "He is tall enough to reach the shelf." is correct. "She is enough old to drive." has the wrong word order.
