Question

Choose the correct adverb from the options given.
My brother usually drives to work with a friend. He __________ drives alone.

• A. Seldom
• B. Always
• C. Never
• D. Often

Answer 1

The correct option is A Seldom

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: 'My brother usually drives to work with a friend' explains that he rarely drives alone. Hence, we need an adverb to replace the word 'rarely'.

Option B - 'Always' is an adverb, which means 'every time.' Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'Never' is an adverb, which means 'not even once'. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Often' is an adverb which means 'many times'. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option A - 'Seldom' is an adverb which means 'rarely'. Hence, we can say that 'he seldom drives alone'. Thus option A is the correct answer.

'My brother usually drives to work with a friend. He seldom drives alone.'
