The correct answer is "He was enough tall". 

Key Points

  • Enough means 'as much as necessary'.
  • It can be used with an adjective, an adverb, a verb or a noun. It can also act as a pronoun.
    • With adjectives and adverbs : enough comes after adjectives and adverbs.
      • For example: I'm not tall enough to reach the top shelf.
      • For example: Your marks are good enough to study engineering at university.
  • From the above explanation it can be concluded that the correct sentence is: He was tall enough to be admitted into the armed forces. 

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Additional Information

  • With verbs: enough comes after verbs.
    • For example: I make sure I drink enough during the day.
  • With nouns: enough comes before nouns.
    • For example: There isn't enough bread to make sandwiches.
  • As a pronoun: enough can also be used without a noun. 
    • For example: I'll get some more chairs. There aren't enough.
  • With an adjective and a noun: When enough is used with an adjective and a noun, two positions are possible but the meaning changes.
    • We haven't got big enough envelopes. 
    • We haven't got enough big envelopes.
  • When enough is after the adjective (big enough envelopes), it describes the adjective – the envelopes are too small.
