Question

Choose the correct adjectival phrase from the alternatives given.
My younger sister can't get up in the morning, but at night she is as _____ daisy. [Intermediate]

• A. fresh like a
• B. fresh
• C. freshly
• D. fresh as a

Answer 1

The correct option is D fresh as a

Option A is incorrect. The conjunction "as" precedes the blank and is used to indicate a comparison. Here, "as fresh as" would be correct as "as fresh like" is grammatically incorrect.
Option B is incorrect as "fresh" does not indicate proper comparison in the given context. "as fresh daisy" is grammatically incorrect.
Option C is incorrect as "freshly" is an adverb and not an adjective.
Option D is correct as "as fresh as a daisy" indicates a comparison between the pronoun "she" and a "daisy" in the context. Thus, the adjectival phrase "fresh as a" is the correct answer.
