After a recent, mild paralytic attack, his movements are ______ restricted. Otherwise, he is still very active.

  1. entirely

  2. slightly

  3. nowhere

  4. frequently


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

According to the statement, his movements are affected but only a little bit, hence the correct answer would be option B, as “slightly” means only by a little amount, hence it is correct because that means that movements are only slightly affected, and he is still active. 

Option A is incorrect because “entirely” means “fully” or completely, which is incorrect because according to the statement, he is still very active, hence the movements are only slightly affected. 
Option C is incorrect because “nowhere” means not in or to any place, not anywhere, which is incorrect here because level of movements are being spoken about. 
Option D is incorrect because “frequently” means very often, which is incorrect here, because “his movements are frequently restricted” means that he can hardly make any movements which is incorrect as is he is still very active. 

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:


The little boy played ______ in the sand at the beach on a bright summer's day.

  1. quickly

  2. happily

  3. ready

  4. excited


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option B.

In the given sentence we have to choose the correct form of adverb that describes the manner in which the little boy played in the sand.
Option A- 'Quickly' is an adjective of manner but not a suitable answer because 'playing quickly' does not sound practically correct and possible.
Option C- 'Ready' is an adjective. Readily is an adverb, therefore it does not describe the action of playing and hence is the incorrect answer.
Option D- 'Excited' is also an adjective- the adverb form is'excitedly'.
Ruling out these 3 options we are now left with option B.
'Happily' is an adverb of manner and correctly describes the action of playing.
Hence Option B is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:


The family are _____ the ship that sailed away yesterday.

  1. afoot

  2. abed

  3. aboard

  4. ahead


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option C.

Option A- 'Afoot' means 'on foot'. The family is in the ship, thus this is not the correct option.
Option B- 'Abed' means 'in bed'
and 
Option D - 'Ahead' means 'leading someone'. Both these options have no connection with a ship, hence these options are incorrect.
Option C -'Aboard' means 'on or into a ship'. The family is in the ship that sailed away the previous day.
Hence Option C is the correct option.

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:


She sighed _____ when she heard the news.

  1. happy

  2. heavily

  3. heavyly

  4. quick


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The adverb 'heavily' is used to express  'how' or 'in what manner'. In the given sentence she sighed when she heard the news which indicates that the news wasn't good. Thus, the adverb 'heavily' is used to express the sad manner in which she sighed.

She sighed when she heard the news. Option A i.e. happy cannot be used here as it is an adjective and we would have to convert it into its adverb 'happily'. It is still incorrect as one does not sigh when one is happy.
When an adjective ending in 'y' is changed into an adverb, the 'y' changes into 'i' and 'ly' is added. Hence, option C is incorrect as the spelling should be 'heavily'.
Option D is also incorrect as a sigh is a long drawn breath and not a quick one also, quick is an adjective which cannot modify the verb sighed.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:


Marie went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. In the _____, her husband looked after the child.

  1. sometimes

  2. meantime

  3. yesterday

  4. midway


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option B.

There are two actions happening in these two sentences.
The first action is that Marie went to prepare dinner and the second action is the husband looking after the child. Both the actions are paralleled and taking place at the same time. So we are to choose the adverb of time that expresses this parallel activity.
Option A - 'sometimes' is an adverb of frequency and is used when an action does not take place always.
Option C- 'Yesterday' is a particular day in the past. Here we have two actions taking place at the same time. So it is not the suitable answer.
Option D-'Midway' is used when one action takes place in the midst of another action and here in this sentence we have two actions taking place at the same time.
Therefore Option B - 'Meantime' is the correct answer. It aptly describes that at the time when Maire went into the kitchen, her husband took care of the child at the same time. 

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:


They were seated _____ the house when it began to rain outside.

  1. inside

  2. without

  3. before

  4. beneath


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The given sentence is the example of adverb of place. Inside is used as an adverb of place. Before is used as an adverb of time. Without is used to show not having something. 'Beneath is used to show when something is covered by another thing. 

Thus, option A is the correct option. The sentence would become - They were seated inside the house when it began to rain outside.

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:


He practised the symphony __________ so that his performance would be perfect on the evening of the show.

  1. to and fro

  2. far and wide

  3. now and then

  4. over and over


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The two adverbs joined by a conjunction such as 'over and over' are used when something is done frequently and repeatedly. In the given sentence, he wanted his performance to be perfect on the evening of the show. Thus, to indicate how much he practised to achieve perfection, 'over and over' is used.

In order to have a perfect performance he practised the symphony but did not move backwards and forwards or up and down. Nor, did he move over a large area. Hence, the adverb phrases, to and fro and far and wide i.e. options A and B are incorrect.
Option C will also be incorrect as now and then is used when something is done occasionally which is not the case here.
Therefore, the answer is option D. 

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:


The country lies _____ those mountains that you can see from here.

  1. below

  2. beyond

  3. anew

  4. beneath


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option B.

We are to choose the adverb which describes the location of the country.
Option B and D -'Below' and 'Beneath' mean underneath something. The country cannot be under the mountains. Hence both the options are incorrect.
'Anew' means 'afresh and start from beginning'. Therefore Option C is the incorrect option.
Option B- 'Beyond' means 'farther away or at a distance'. This word aptly describes the location of the country. The country is at a distance or farther away from the mountains.
Hence Option B is the correct option.

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

She is lying _____ as it is a holiday.

  1. abed

  2. ahead

  3. aboard

  4. away


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option A.

We are to identify the adverb of place - the place where 'she is lying'.
Option B- 'Ahead' means 'further in space' i.e. in the lead of someone else. However in the sentence 'she' is alone - there is no one else. So ahead is not the suitable adverb.
Option C- 'Aboard' means on or into the ship. Here 'she; is lying- Hence even this option is ruled out.
Option D- 'Away' means a different position, but in the given sentence 'she' is at the same place.
Option A-'Abed' means in bed. This perfectly describes the place where the action of lying takes place.
Hence option A is the correct answer.

None of the options A, B or D indicate a time period.
