Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb of the highlighted or bracketed word.
Terry is a (dangerous) driver.

He drives ___________.

• A. dangerous
• B. dangerously
• C. Both 'A' and 'B'
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B dangerously

'Adverb' is a word that is used to change or qualify the meaning of an adjective, a verb, a clause or another adverb.

In the given sentence, the verb is 'drives' and 'dangerous' is the style of driving,

Option B - 'dangerously' is an adverb which describes the verb 'drives'.

On the other hand, Option A - 'dangerous' is an adjective which can modify a noun, but not the verb.

Therefore, the suitable option to complete the given sentence is : Option B - 'dangerously'.

The completed sentence, thus, becomes : He drives dangerously.
