Explanation

The question requires transforming a superlative statement, "Akbar was the best king that ever reigned in this subcontinent," into its positive degree while maintaining the original meaning. In comparative grammar, the positive degree expresses a quality without any comparison. The correct option, A) "No other king that ever reigned in this subcontinent was so good as Akbar," successfully restates the idea without employing comparatives or superlatives.

This option effectively communicates that Akbar stands out in terms of goodness among all kings of the subcontinent, thus retaining the essence of the original sentence. While options B) and D) express comparisons, they imply a degree of superiority rather than stating the absence of equality meaning they do not translate the superlative into a positive degree.

In summary, option A correctly reenforces the meaning of Akbar's greatness by expressing that no other king is as commendable, thus making it the best choice. To recall the answer, remember the key terms: "No other king," "good as Akbar."
