- Rachel managed to do the task ________ .
Question 1:
Rachel managed to do the task ________ . A. correctful
B. correcty
C. correct
D. correctly
Feedback We use adverbs to add more information about a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a clause or a whole sentence. In the test sentence ‘Rachel managed to do the task ________ .’ we add more information about the verb ‘do’.Adverbs have many different meanings and functions. They are especially important for indicating the time (when), manner (the way something happens or is done, how something happens), place (where), degree (how) and frequency (how often) of something.In the test we are given four variants: ‘correctful’, ‘correcty’, ‘correct’ and ‘correctly’ that have the same root morpheme ‘correct’ that means ‘right, having no mistakes’. ‘Rachel managed to do the task how? – without any mistakes.’, therefore, we are to change the adjective ‘correct’ into the adverb of manner that is usually placed either after the main verb or after the object. In the test sentence it is after the infinitive + the object (to do the task how?).Adverbs of manner are often formed from adjectives by adding -ly: bad – badly, brave -bravely, sudden – suddenly. Thus, we need to add –ly to the adjective ‘correct’: ‘correct’ → ‘correctly’.Therefore, we are to choose ANSWER 4: correctly. And the variants ‘correctful’ and ‘correcty’ are nonce-words.
