Multiple choice forms of adverb adverb english

Fill in the blank with the appropriate answer:

I feel ____ about what happened.

  1. bad

  2. badly

  3. horribly

  4. Both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In the given sentence, "feel" is not a regular verb. It is a linking verb. Usually, linking verbs typically need adjectives and not adverbs. If we say "I feel horribly" or "I feel badly" then it would mean that you are bad at feeling things. The adverbs describe how you would perform the action of feeling. Therefore options B and C are incorrect. Since B is incorrect, option D, too, is incorrect. 


The linking verb can only be described by an adjective and this case, "bad" is the adjective that describes negative emotions felt by the subject. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

Complete the sentence using the appropriate adverb form:

She blended into the background ____(easy) due to her timid nature.

  1. with ease

  2. in ease

  3. easyly

  4. easily
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In both option A and B, "ease" modifies neither a noun nor an adverb. Instead, it functions as a noun in both cases. Moreover, prepositions are always followed by a noun. Thus, both option A and B are incorrect.


We know that an adverb is a word that modifies or describes a verb. In option D, "easily" modifies the verb "blended" when used in the given sentence. Then we can say that "easily" is an adverb. Therefore, option D is correct. It follows that option C is incorrect as it contains the incorrect spelling.
