Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
He drove the car _______ to avoid missing the train.
a) quickly
b) outside
c) enough
d) rarely

Answer 1

Hint: An adverb is a word that modifies something other than a noun. An adverb is the word class that qualifies verbs or clauses.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to find out which of the options given to us indicate how ‘he’ increased the speed of the car such that ‘he’ could avoid missing the train.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'quickly', refers to ‘with speed; with little or no delay.’ Therefore, option (a.) is correct as it describes how ‘he’ drove fast to not miss the train.
Option (b.), ‘outside', refers to ‘relating to or being on or near the outer side or limit.’ Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as it does not indicate how ‘he’ increased the speed of the car such that ‘he’ could avoid missing the train.
Option (c.), ‘enough', refers to ‘as much as necessary.’ Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as putting this in the blank does not make logical sense.
Option (d.), ‘rarely', refers to ‘not often.’ Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as it does not indicate how ‘he’ increased the speed of the car such that ‘he’ could avoid missing the train.

Note:
 In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of a logical sequence. A logical sequence includes a sequence marked by an orderly, logical, and aesthetically consistent relation of the parts of a sentence, or sentences themselves
