Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) really.
Correct Sentence:
A: How was your exam?
B: Not good. It was really difficult.
Explanation:
The intensifier "really" is commonly used with strong adjectives like "difficult" to emphasize the degree of the adjective. It provides the correct emphasis in this context.
Grammatical Rule Used:
- Intensifiers such as "really" or "extremely" are used to modify and emphasize adjectives.
- Some intensifiers like "bitterly" or "poorly" are context-specific and are not suitable for general emphasis with adjectives like "difficult."
- Rule in Hindi: "Really" जैसे intensifiers का उपयोग यह दिखाने के लिए किया जाता है कि विशेषण की तीव्रता बहुत अधिक है।
Meanings of the Other Options:
- Dangerously: (Hindi: खतरनाक रूप से) Used to describe actions that pose risks; does not fit in this context.
- Bitterly: (Hindi: कड़वे ढंग से) Used with words related to emotions like disappointment or regret (e.g., bitterly disappointed).
- Poorly: (Hindi: खराब रूप से) Refers to something done in a bad or ineffective manner; not appropriate here.
Key Takeaway: Use "really" to emphasize strong adjectives in a natural and correct way.
Example: The weather was really cold last night.
