• A. Expensive is very the dress.
• B. Dress is very expensive the.

• D. The dress is very expensive.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The dress is very expensive.

Option A - 'Very' is the intensifier, which should be used before 'expensive' to explain 'how much' here. Also, 'the dress' is the subject of the sentence and should be placed first. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'The' is the article/determiner for 'dress' and it can't be placed at the end of the sentence. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'The dress' is the subject of the sentence and can't be placed in the place of an object. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - The subject, intensifier and the adjective are all in place and grammatically correct. Hence, option D is the correct answer.

'The dress is very expensive.'
