Question

Choose the correct adverb from the options given.
Himanshu is an excellent student. He __________ goes to school.

• A. Usually
• B. Always
• C. Sometimes
• D. Seldom

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Always

In order to fill in the blank, let's understand what adverbs of frequency are. Adverbs of frequency are words that explain how often something happens. For example, 'I often visit the museum.' Here, 'often' explains that the subject goes to the museum many times.

NOTE: 'Himanshu is an excellent student' is a statement based on the fact about the subject's excellence. Hence, we need a positive adverb to describe the subject goes to school regularly as he is an excellent student.

Option A - 'Usually' is an adverb, which means 'most of the times.' If the subject went to school 'most of the times', he wouldn't be an excellent student. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option C - 'Sometimes' is an adverb, which means 'not all the times/ sometimes'. To be an excellent student, 'Himanshu' should go to his school regularly. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Seldom' is an adverb which means 'rarely'. As explained above, we need an adverb that means 'regularly'. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option B - 'Always' is an adverb which means 'all the times', it means 'regularly' as well. Hence, we can say that 'He always go to school.' Thus option B is the correct answer.

'Himanshu is an excellent student. He always goes to school.'
