Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
The tea is _______ hot; I cannot drink it. Let it cool down a bit.

A
Hardly

B
Scarcely

C
Hard

D
Too

Solution

The given sentence requires an adverb before the word 'hot'. We could have used option A 'hardly', but the later part of the sentence says 'Let it cool down a little bit', which means that the tea is very hot.
Hence we can't say that the tea was hardly hot. Thus option A is incorrect.
We could have used option B 'scarcely hot' which means 'hardly/barely hot', but we need an adverb that can replace the meaning of 'very hot'. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C is incorrect, as 'Hard' here is an adjective whereas we need an adverb.
Option D is correct, the correct sentence is - The tea is too hot; I cannot drink. Let it cool down a bit. 'Too hot' means very hot, thus it describes the degree of how hot the tea is.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
He drove the car _______ to avoid missing the train.

A
quickly

B
outside

C
enough

D
rarely

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
In the given sentence we are to choose the correct adverb that describes the verb 'drove' i.e. an adverb that correctly describes how he drove the car.
Option B - OUTSIDE denotes a place or position and not the manner, therefore it is not the correct answer.
Option C - ENOUGH- This means sufficient. However, it does not describe the manner in which the car was driven. Thus this too is not the correct answer.
Option D - RARELY - This word is an adverb that describes the manner in which an action is done. In the given sentence, however, it does not comply with the meaning and context of the sentence. Rarely means 'not often' and this has no connection with his driving to avoid missing the train. Thus this too is not the correct answer.
Option A - QUICKLY -This word aptly describes the way the car was driven. It also complies with the meaning of the sentence. He has to drive the car in a way so that he avoids missing the train which can happen only if he drives QUICKLY.
Hence, QUICKLY -Option A is the correct answer.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
She was ______ too rude in her behaviour.

A
quite

B
very

C
rather

D
pretty

Solution

The correct answer is option C.
We are to choose the correct word that describes the manner of her rudeness.
Option A: QUITE means to a certain degree. It is an adverb of manner but the usage of 'quite' with 'too' is grammatically incorrect.
Option B and D are adverbs of manner and signify degree but their usage with 'too' is incorrect.
Therefore these options are incorrect.
Option C: RATHER is a word that signifies degree and can be used correctly with 'too'.
Therefore Option C is the correct answer.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
He ______ works on Sunday.

A
hard

B
hardly

C
rather

D
much
Solution
The correct answer is Option B.
The correct option is the adverb that describes his manner of work on Sunday.
Option A-HARD as an adverb can only be used after the verb and not before it.
Option C-RATHER is used to indicate one's preference. Here the sentence conveys no such meaning of preference.
Option D-MUCH means a large amount and is used as a determiner (a word that determines the kind of reference a noun or nouns have). It cannot be used as an adverb to describe the manner of his work.
Hence these 3 options are not the correct answer.
Option B-HARDLY correctly describes the manner of his work. As an adverb of manner and an adverb ending in -ly, it can be suitably used before the verb.
Hence Option B is the correct option.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
We met after a very long. We could _____ recognize each other.

A
hardly

B
hard

C
much

D
rather

Solution

The correct answer is option A.
We have to identify the correct option that correctly describes the manner in which they recognized each other.
Option B-HARD is an adjective and therefore does not describe the manner if recognition.
Option C-MUCH is a determiner and is usually used to indicate quantity and used with the word BETTER.
Option C- RATHER is used to indicate preference.
None of the options describe the manner in which they recognized each other. Thus they are incorrect options.
Option A HARDLY correctly describes the manner in which they recognized each other. Since they met after a long time they could not really recognize each other well.
Option A is the correct answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
He was ______ relieved to know that he had been selected. (positive connotation)

A
Hardly

B
Quickly

C
Scarcely

D
Clearly

Solution

The correct answer is Option D.
In the given sentence we are to identify the correct adverb of manner. The answer must correctly express the manner is which the subject was the sentence is relieved.
From the context of the given sentence, we can clearly understand that the correct adverb must be a positive adverb because 'relieved' is a positive emotion.
Options A and C are adverbs that are usually used to express incompleteness. Hence they do not comply with the sentence because there is no meaning of incompleteness expressed in the sentence.
Option B - QUICKLY, along with expressing the manner also expresses the speed of a verb. There is no meaning of speed expressed in the given sentence. Therefore Option B is the incorrect option.
Option D- CLEARLY best expresses the manner in which the subject of the sentence is relieved and thus it is the correct option.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
He works very _____ these days.

A
hard

B
hardly

C
scarcely

D
mostly

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
We are to choose from the given options the word that best describes 'how' he works i.e. the quality/manner of his work.
Options B, C and D i.e. 'hardly', 'scarcely' and 'mostly' as adverbs of manner are used before the verb (adverbs ending in -ly are usually used before a verb), However, in the given sentence the blank to be filled in after the verb. Also 'very' followed by these words does not form a grammatically correct sentence.
Option A-HARD describes the manner and quality of his work and can be used as an adverb after the verb.
Hence Option A is the correct answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I can't find that book ________.

A
everywhere

B
where

C
not here

D
anywhere

Solution

Here, 'anywhere' as an adverb is correct because it is used in negative sentences and in questions instead of somewhere. Here, the book can't be found 'anywhere'.
'Everywhere' is incorrect because it implies in, to or at every place; all places.
'Where' is incorrect because it is used after words or phrases that refer to a place or situation to mean ‘at, in or to which’.
'Not here' is incorrect because it implies not in, at or to this position or place.
Question 9
1 / -0

Rewrite the sentence using too...to:

The statue is more than enough beautiful to be sculpted by an average sculptor.

A
The statue is too beautiful to be sculpted by an average sculptor.

B
The statue is too to beautiful be sculpted by an average sculptor.

C
The too statue is beautiful to be sculpted by an average sculptor.

D
The statue is beautiful enough too to be sculpted by an average sculptor.

Solution

The proper structure to construct a sentence using 'too' with an infinitive is:
too + adjective/adverb ... to + base form of the verb
In light of this concept, it can be seen that the sentence 'The statue is too beautiful to be sculpted by an average sculptor' follows the structure properly. The adverb 'too' needs to sit beside an adjective or an adverb to show the extent of its amount that is to appropriate the expression 'more than enough'. Hence, Option A is correct and the other options cancel out.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the antonym for the underlined adverb.
He talked to me rudely.

A
Carefully

B
Politely

C
Hopefully

D
Loudly

Solution

All the given adverbs are adverbs of manner.
The adverb 'rudely' means 'in an offensive or bad-mannered way'. The adverb 'politely' means 'in a respectful and considerate manner'. As these two words have opposite meanings, they are antonyms. Option B is correct.
The adverb 'carefully' means 'in a way that deliberately avoids harm or errors' or 'cautiously'. The adverb 'hopefully' means 'in a hopeful manner'. The adverb 'loudly' means 'in a way that produces much noise'.
The above three words do not mean the opposite of 'rudely'. Hence, options A, C and D are incorrect.
