Grammar: Adverb

Question:

Choose the correct option to complete the given sentence with an Adverb Clause:

The doctor always comes _____ he is sent for.

Options:

wherever

as

whenever

when

Correct Answer:

whenever

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → whenever

  • An adverb clause modifies a verb, another adverb, or an adjective.
  • In the sentence, we need to modify the verb "comes."
  • "Whenever" indicates time and expresses repeated occurrence.
  • "Wherever" indicates place, "as" is a conjunction to introduce a reason, and "when" is a general time adverb but doesn't necessarily imply repetition.

Therefore, "The doctor always comes whenever he is sent for" is the most natural and grammatically correct way to complete the sentence using an adverb clause of time.
