Question

Form the adverb of the following word:
ready

• A. readiful
• B. readifully
• C. readily
• D. readilily

Answer 1

The correct option is C readily

Adjectives that end with a y, and that y is preceded by a consonant, as in "ready", 'y' is preceded by a consonant 'd', then while forming an adverb, 'y' is removed and 'i' is added, along with the suffix 'ly'. Many adverbs that are formed from adjectives use the suffix -ly. Hence option C is correct. 'Readiful' is not a word, hence option A is incorrect. Similarly, 'readifully' and 'readilily' don't exist in the English language, hence options B and D are incorrect.
