Question

In the following sentence "most" functions as:
In most cases, cochlear implants have helped patients achieve 90 to 95 percent hearing improvement.

• A. an adverb
• B. a noun
• C. an adjective
• D. Both A and C

Answer 1

The correct option is C an adjective

In the given sentence, "most" is not an adverb since it does not modify any verb or adjective. Therefore option A is incorrect. Consequently, option D, too, is incorrect.

Option B is wrong as well since "most" cannot be a noun. In the given sentence, "most" modifies the plural noun "cases". Hence it is an adjective, making option C correct.
