Fill Blanks

Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

I think it is quite ______ that your parents still hold hands.

Options:

adorable

adorably

adore

adores

Correct Answer:

adorable

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is adorable.

The word adorable means extremely charming or attractive. In this context, the sentence is saying that it is quite adorable that your parents still hold hands. This means that it is charming and attractive that your parents still show affection for each other.

The other options are not correct.

  • Adorably is an adverb form of adorable, and it means in a charming or attractive way. It does not make sense to use an adverb in this blank because the sentence is not describing how something is done.
  • Adore is a verb that means to love or to admire someone or something very much. It does not make sense to use this word in the blank because the sentence is not saying that the speaker loves or admires the fact that your parents still hold hands.
  • Adores is the third-person singular present tense of the verb adore. It does not make sense to use this word in the blank because the sentence is not saying that someone loves or admires the fact that your parents still hold hands.
