Choose the correct 'adverb' to complete the given sentence: The soldiers fought _______ to protect their country.

bravely

The correct answer is OPTION 1 - bravely

• The main verb here is "fought" (action word).

• We need an adverb to describe how the soldiers fought.

1. bravely

• Bravely is an adverb.

• It means in a brave manner, showing courage.

• ✅ This fits perfectly because it describes how the soldiers fought.

2. bravery

• Bravery is a noun.

• Example: Their bravery was praised by all.

•  You cannot use a noun to describe a verb like "fought" here.

3. brave

• Brave is an adjective.

• Example: He is a brave man.

•  An adjective cannot be used here to describe an action (fought).

4. braver

• Braver is the comparative form of an adjective (more brave).

• Example: He is braver than his brother.

•  Again, we need an adverb, not a comparative adjective.
