Question

Select the correct adjective from the given options.
You can not grow cherries in these areas. They grow only in __________ conditions.

• A. exceptional
• B. specific
• C. special
• D. considerable

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

specific

Option B -'Specific' means 'particular'. The context of the given sentence is that cherries grow in some particular conditions only. Therefore, the adjective 'specific' is suitable to describe 'condition'.

Option A - 'Exceptional' means 'uncommon or extra-ordinary', Option C - 'Special' means 'uncommon or unusual', Option D - 'Considerable' means 'substantial, remarkable'. None of these adjectives are suitable to describe the noun 'condition' to grow cherries.

The completed sentence, thus, becomes: You can not grow cherries in these areas. They grow only in specific conditions.
