Choose the appropriate adverb from the following options given below:-
The mangoes are ______ ripe and look so colorful.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) - almost
The sentence "The mangoes are ______ ripe and look so colorful." needs an adverb that modifies the adjective ripe, indicating the degree of ripeness.
- "Almost" means nearly or not completely, which fits well: "The mangoes are almost ripe and look so colorful."
Why not the other options?
- "At once" means immediately and does not modify "ripe" correctly.
- "Enough" is used after an adjective, not before (e.g., "The mangoes are ripe enough.").
- "Extreme" is an adjective, not an adverb, and does not fit here.
