The ________ mother took lots of efforts to bring up her children.

• A. Anxious
• B. Anxiety
• C. Anxiously
• D. Anxiousness

Answer 1

The correct option is A Anxious

Option A is the correct answer because ‘anxious’ means ‘worried’. The mother was quite worried for her children and brought them up with lots of efforts. Thus, ‘anxious’ is the most appropriate adjective.
Option B is incorrect because ‘anxiety’ is a noun. Thus, it is not the appropriate grammatical word for the given sentence.
Option C is incorrect because ‘anxiously’ is an adverb. Thus, it is not the appropriate grammatical word for the given sentence.
Option D is incorrect because ‘anxiousness’ is a noun; however, it does not fit grammatically in the given sentence.
