Nilesh Singh answered
Adverb in the Sentence: Quite well

Explanation:
- An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It provides more information about how, when, where, or to what extent something is done.
- In the given sentence, the adverb "quite well" modifies the verb "speaks" and provides information about how well he speaks English.
- The adverb "quite" suggests that the person speaks English to a significant extent or degree.
- The adverb "well" describes the quality or manner of speaking English. It indicates that the person speaks English with proficiency or skill.

Note: Adverbs often end in -ly, but not always. In this case, the adverb "quite" does not end in -ly, but it still functions as an adverb by modifying the adjective "well."

Other Words in the Sentence:
- He: pronoun referring to a specific person
- Speaks: verb indicating the action of speaking
- English: noun referring to the language being spoken
- Can: auxiliary verb indicating ability or possibility
- Be: auxiliary verb used to form the passive voice or future tense
- Of: preposition indicating possession or association
- Great: adjective describing the level of help
- Help: noun referring to assistance or support
- To: preposition indicating the direction or purpose

By identifying the adverb in the sentence, you can understand how well the person speaks English and how they can be of great help to you.

Replace the underlined adverb in the following sentence with its antonym.
How can I put up with a person who always speaks foolishly?
  • a)
    Quickly
  • b)
    Warmly
  • c)
    Wisely
  • d)
    Directly
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Kiran Reddy answered
The adverb, 'foolishly' means 'in an unwise manner' or 'stupidly'. The opposite of the same is 'wisely'. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
The adverb, 'quickly' means 'at a fast speed'. The adverb, 'warmly' means 'in a way that protects one with clothes or covers, which keep out the cold'. It also means 'in a manner which makes one feel comfortable'. The adverb, 'directly' means 'with nothing or no one in between'. It also means 'without stopping'.
As the meaning of the above three words is quite different from that of 'foolishly', options A, B and D are incorrect.

I will probably be able to see my friend after work.
  • a)

    able
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ayush Nambiar answered
Adverb in the sentence: Never

Explanation:
An adverb is a word that modifies or describes a verb, adjective, or other adverbs in a sentence. It provides more information about the verb or the action being performed. In the given sentence, the adverb is "never." Let's break down the sentence to understand it better:

1. Subject: I
2. Verb: have been
3. Object: to Maldives

The adverb "never" modifies the verb "have been" and is used to describe the frequency of the action. It indicates that the speaker has not been to Maldives at any time in the past.

Importance of the adverb:
The adverb "never" adds emphasis to the sentence and expresses the speaker's lack of experience in visiting Maldives. It creates a stronger impact by emphasizing the fact that the speaker has not had the opportunity to go there before.

Alternative options:
Let's analyze the other options to understand why they are not adverbs:

- Would: In this sentence, "would" is a modal verb that expresses a future possibility or intention. It does not modify the verb "have been" and therefore cannot be considered as an adverb.
- Have: "Have" is a verb, not an adverb. It is part of the verb phrase "have been" which indicates a past experience or action.
- Maldives: "Maldives" is a noun, specifically the name of a place. It does not modify the verb "have been" and is not an adverb.

Therefore, the adverb in the given sentence is "never." It modifies the verb "have been" and expresses the speaker's lack of experience in visiting Maldives.

Form the adverb of the following word:
prompt
  • a)
    prompttly
  • b)
    promptly
  • c)
    prompter
  • d)
    promptily
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sparsh Kapoor answered
Adverb Formation:

To form an adverb from an adjective, the suffix "-ly" is typically added. This suffix changes the adjective into an adverb, which describes how an action is performed or the manner in which something happens.

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to form the adverb of the word "prompt". Let's examine the given options and determine the correct adverb form.

Option A: prompttly
This is not the correct adverb form. The word "prompttly" does not follow the standard rule of adding "-ly" to form an adverb.

Option B: promptly
This is the correct adverb form. By adding the suffix "-ly" to the adjective "prompt", we form the adverb "promptly". This adverb describes the promptness or timeliness of an action or event.

Option C: prompter
This is not the correct adverb form. "Prompter" is a noun, not an adverb. It refers to a person who cues or assists actors in a play or performance.

Option D: promptily
This is not the correct adverb form. The word "promptily" does not follow the standard rule of adding "-ly" to form an adverb.

Conclusion:

The correct adverb form of the word "prompt" is "promptly" (option B). This adverb describes the promptness or timeliness of an action or event.

Form the adverb of the following word:
perfect
  • a)
    perfecter
  • b)
    perfectest
  • c)
    perfectly
  • d)
    perfectily
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

An adverb is a word or phrase that qualifies or changes an adjective, verb or another adverb, to express a relation of a situation, cause etc.
The correct answer is  C)perfectly as it ends in 'ly'  and is spelled correctly.
Options A, B, and D are wrong as 'perfecter' is a noun, 'perfectest' is a superlative adjective, and the word is misspelled.

  • a)
    careful
  • b)
    carefully
  • c)
    cared
  • d)
    carefulness
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:
In this sentence, we need to choose the most suitable adverb to describe how she reads the text.

The adverb form of "careful" is "carefully."

Answer:
