1."so"(b)

Use 'so' before an adjective without a noun. 'Nice' is an adjective standing alone, so we say 'so nice'.

2."such a"(a)

Use 'such a' before a singular countable noun phrase. 'Beautiful day' is an adjective + singular noun, so we say 'such a beautiful day'.

3."so"(d)

Use 'so' before an adverb. 'Fluently' is an adverb, so we say 'so fluently'.

4."such"(b)

Use 'such' before a plural noun phrase. 'Kind people' is adjective + plural noun, so we say 'such kind people' (no 'a' with plurals).

5."such a"(a)

Use 'such a' before a singular countable noun phrase. 'Tall building' is adjective + singular noun, so we need 'such a'.
