Grammar: Adverb

Question:

Complete the sentence with Adverb of Manner

Heena delivered the speech _________.

Options:

yesterday

fluently

where

probably

Correct Answer:

fluently

Explanation:

The best option to complete the sentence with an adverb of manner is: Option 2: fluently

Here's why:

  • Yesterday tells us when Heena delivered the speech, not how she delivered it. An adverb of manner describes the way something is done, not the time.
  • Fluently describes how Heena delivered the speech. It means she spoke smoothly and easily, without stammering or hesitation. This adverb fits the context of praising her delivery.
  • Where tells us the location of the speech, not the manner. We need an adverb that describes Heena's action, not the setting.
  • Probably indicates uncertainty, which doesn't fit the tone of the sentence
