    Question

    With strong adjectives, choose the correct intensifier to fill the given blank.
    A: How was your exam?
    B: Not good. It was______ difficult.

    A.

    really

    B.

    dangerously

    C.

    bitterly

    D.

    poorly

    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.
