Question:

Select the most more appropriate option to fill in the blank.
A dog is a _______ animal.

Options:

faithfully

faithful

trustfully

fruitful

Correct Answer:

faithful

Explanation:

A dog is a faithful animal.

Explanation:

  • Faithfully: This adverb describes how an action is performed, often in a loyal or dedicated manner. However, in this context, we are describing the nature of a dog, not its behavior, so the adjective form "faithful" is more appropriate.
  • Faithful: This adjective means loyal, true, and devoted. It accurately describes the characteristic of a dog as being known for its loyalty and devotion to its owner.
  • Trustfully: This adverb describes doing something with trust or confidence. While dogs might exhibit trustful behavior, it's not the most suitable word to describe their overall nature.
  • Fruitful: This adjective means productive or successful, which does not accurately describe the inherent nature of a dog.
