The given sentence means to say that the story is so good that it cannot be true.

Thus Option B- 'only good' is the incorrect option because it does not really express the degree of how good the story is.

'So' as an adverb of degree is always followed by 'that'. The correct usage would, therefore, be 'so good that...' Hence option C is not the correct answer.

The given sentence begins with "though", which is a conjunction that combines two clauses that have opposite or contrast meanings. The blank in the second clause, after the comma, is to be filled by a word that makes that clause contrast to the first clause. "They started with plenty of money", but they did something in a way that they spent all of it on chocolate. "Spent" is a verb, hence a word that describes the manner of that action is required. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs, hence an adverb is required. From the given options, 'foolishly' fits the sentence, because even though they had a lot of money, they were foolish to spend it all on chocolate, these are two contrasting ideas, hence option B is correct. Wisely' is also an adverb, but it is not contrast in meaning, when it's placed in the sentence it means that they had money and they were wise to spend it on chocolate, but their action isn't wise and 'though' makes it clear that a contrasting word is required. Hence option A is incorrect. 'Quick' and 'beautiful' are adjectives as they modify nouns, they do not modify adverbs. For example in 'a quick run', 'a beautiful sky', 'quick' modifies the noun 'run' and 'beautiful' modifies the noun 'sky'. Adjectives don't modify adverbs, hence options C and D are incorrect.

The sentence mentions about 'completion of degree course'.

From the given options, 'often' indicates a frequent occurrence of an event, 'daily' indicates the event occurring every day, 'seldom' indicates the rare occurrence of an event.

The word 'about' in the above sentence tells us approximately how much 'it' weighs. Weighs is a verb and since 'about' tells us about the verb in the sentence, it will be an adverb. Therefore option A is the correct answer.

An adjective qualifies the noun or the pronoun in a sentence. 'About' is not an adjective as it does not qualify the pronoun 'it'. Hence, option B is incorrect.

'About' is not used instead of a noun in the above sentence. Since pronouns are the words which are used instead of a noun, 'about' is not a pronoun.

It is also not a preposition as prepositions in a sentence relate a noun or a pronoun with the other words.

'About Does not relate either the pronoun 'it or the noun 'pound with the other words in the sentence. Hence, options C and D are incorrect.
