Solution
The correct option is D nearly
Answer : B
Explanation:
Adverbs used to indicate the extent of something are called as Adverbs of Degree/Quantity.
"nearly" means -- almost; very close to
"carefully" means -- cautiously
"too" means -- in addition; of a higher degree
"usually" means -- generally, under normal conditions
The sentence in the question tells us that "She" was ill but she got better, which obviously means that she did not die and is still alive. She was close to dying but did not die.
Thus the most appropriate word for use from among the options is: "nearly".
Therefore the complete correct sentence is:
She was very ill and NEARLY died, but fortunately, she got better.
