Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb of the highlighted or bracketed word.
Monica is very impatient. She is waiting for her friend __________.

• A. Impatient
• B. Patient
• C. Impatiently
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Impatiently

The adverb form of the highlighted word, 'impatient' is 'impatiently'. It means, 'in a way that shows irritation or annoyance'. Hence, option C is correct.

Options A and B are incorrect as the words, 'impatient' and 'patient' are adjectives and not adverbs. 'Patient' means 'able to accept or tolerate delays, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious'. Eg: 'Patient listener'. The word, 'impatient' means the opposite of the word, 'patient'.

Option D is incorrect as option C is the correct answer.
