Multiple choice comparison of adverbs adverb english

Fill in the blank with suitable degrees of the adverb from the given options.
We can do it _________ now because we have better resources.

  1. Easier

  2. Easiest

  3. Easy

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

In order to fill in the blank with the suitable degree of the adverb, let's understand what adverbs are. Adverbs are words that describe something about the verbs. For example, "I ran fast". Here, 'fast' describes the way 'I' ran, so 'fast' is an adverb. Degrees of the adverbs explain us the intensity of an action, adjective or another adverb. For example, "She ran too fast". Here, 'fast' is the adverb and 'too' intensifies how fast she ran.

Option A - 'Easier' is an adjective. It is the comparative form of an adjective. As we need an adverb, we can't use an adjective here. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'Easiest' is an adjective. It is the superlative form of an adjective. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Easy' is often used as an adjective, as we need the degree of adverb, we can't use 'easy' here. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'More' intensifies how easy it is, hence it is the best degree of the adverb 'easily'. The word 'now' explains that the subject must have done the action earlier as well, hence we need the intensifier 'more' to indicate the improvement 'now'. Thus option D is the correct answer.
'We can do it more easily now because we have better resources.'

Explanation

In order to fill in the blank with the suitable degree of the adverb, let's understand what adverbs are. Adverbs are words that describe something about the verbs. For example, "I ran fast".

Option A - 'Wisely' is the positive degree of the adverb. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'More wisely' is the comparative form of the adverb, which is used for comparison of two things. Here, more than two things are being compared. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In order to fill in the blank with the suitable degree of the adverb, let's understand what adverbs are. Adverbs are words that describe something about the verbs. For example, "I ran fast". Here, 'fast' describes the way 'I' ran, so 'fast' is an adverb. Degrees of the adverbs explain us the intensity of an action, adjective or another adverb. For example, "She ran too fast". Here, 'fast' is the adverb and 'too' intensifies how fast she ran.

Option A - 'More gracefully' is an adverb, which can be used to intensify how gracefully the action is done. 'More' is used to compare an action with another. Here, as there is no comparison, we can't use 'more gracefully'. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'Most gracefully' is an adverb, which is used to intensify the superlative degree of the adverb. As the sentence doesn't state the highest degree of the action, we can't use 'most' here. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'Grace' is a noun, as we need an adverb, we can't use 'grace' here. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option C - 'Gracefully' is an adverb which is the positive degree of the adverb. It describes the way 'Asma walks'. Thus option C is the correct answer.
'Asma walks very gracefully.'

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In order to fill in the blank with the suitable degree of the adverb, let's understand what adverbs are. Adverbs are words that describe something about the verbs. For example, ''I ran fast''. Here, 'fast' describes the way 'I' ran, so 'fast' is an adverb. Degrees of the adverbs explain us the intensity of an action, adjective or another adverb. For example, ''She ran too fast''. Here, 'fast' is the adverb and 'too' intensifies how fast she ran.

NOTE: The word 'than' explains that we need the comparative degree of an adverb.
Option A - 'Much' is an adverb, which is used with uncountable subjects only. It means 'to a greater extent'. As 'much' doesn't compare the amount spent on accessories with other things, we can't use it here. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Many' is used as a determiner and an adverb. It is used with countable subjects only. It can't be used for comparison. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'Most' is the superlative degree of the adverb, which means 'to the greatest extent' of an action, adjective or a noun. As we need the comparative degree and not the superlative degree, we can't use 'most' here. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option C - 'More' is the comparative form of the adverb which intensifies act of spending of accessories. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
'Simran spends more on her accessories, than on anything else.'

NOTE: As the sentence doesn't emphasise on intensifying the action, we will use the positive form of the adverb/normal adverb to describe the verb/adjective/noun.
Option A - 'More highly' has 'more', which is the comparative degree of the adverb. As we need the adverb in its positive degree, we can't use 'more highly' here. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Most highly' has 'most', which is the superlative degree of the adverb. As we need the adverb in its positive degree, we can't use 'more highly' here. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option A - 'Hard' is the positive degree of the adverb. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option C - 'Harder' is the comparative form of the adverb. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Most hard' is an incorrect expression. The words that have the superlative form, should not be accompanied by 'most', as 'most' also intensifies the greatest degree of the adverb. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'Hardest' is the superlative form of the adverb which explains the intensity of the way Araadhak works. Thus the sentence means that no one works as hard as Araadhak. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
'Araadhak works hardest of all.'
