Grammar: Adverb

Question:

Fill in the blank with the correct Adverb in the following sentence;

Gaurav read the poem ________.

Options:

agreeably

understandably

clearly

soundly

Correct Answer:

clearly

Explanation:

Explanation:

  • Agreeably: This adverb implies doing something in a pleasant or likable manner. However, when reading a poem, it's more about the comprehension or expression, so "agreeably" is not be the most fitting choice.

  • Understandably: doesn't fit well in the context of reading a poem.

  • Clearly: This adverb is the most appropriate in this context. It indicates that Gaurav read the poem in a way that was easy to perceive, without ambiguity.

  • Soundly: This adverb typically relates to sleep or defeat and doesn't fit well in the context of reading a poem.

Therefore, the best choice is Option 3: clearly, as it aligns with the idea that Gaurav read the poem in a way that was easy to understand and perceive.
