(E) quickly

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options:

(A) and (D) Only

(B) and (E) Only

(A), (C) and (D) Only

(A), (B), (C) and (D) Only

Correct Answer:

(B) and (E) Only

Explanation:

The correct answer is: (B) and (E) Only

Adverbs are words that describe or give more information about a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. They usually tell us how, when, where, how often, or to what extent something happens.

  • (B) "hardly" is an adverb that means barely or scarcely. For example, "I could hardly believe my eyes."

  • (E) "quickly" is an adverb that describes how an action is performed. For example, "She completed the race quickly."

“Hard” is both an adjective and an adverb (depending on its use). However, there is no option for (A), (B) and (E) Only.

"Beauty" is a noun, and "beautiful" is also an adjective.
