Grammar: Adverb

Question:

Fill in the blank with an appropriate adverb.

________ he is a good winner but I have never watched him win a race.

Options:

Luckily

Doubtedly

Fortunately

Apparently

Correct Answer:

Apparently

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - Apparently

  • "Apparently" indicates that something seems to be true based on what is known or perceived. In this context, it suggests that the speaker has heard or been told that he is a good winner, but they have not personally witnessed it.
  1. "Luckily"

    • This implies a fortunate outcome, which does not fit the context of discussing someone's character as a winner.
  2. "Doubtedly"

    • This is not a standard adverb; the correct form would be "doubtfully," which does not fit the sentence.
  3. "Fortunately"

    • This implies a positive outcome or luck, which does not align with the context of not having witnessed the win.
