SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 155

SSC Stenographer - 06 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q155

Fill in the blank with an appropriate adverb.
The food is ________ good.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct adverb to fill in the blank is extremely.

The word "extremely" is an adverb of degree that modifies the adjective "good," emphasizing the quality of the food.

Cautiously: This describes the manner in which an action is performed (e.g., "He ate cautiously"), which does not fit as a modifier for the quality "good."

Boldly: This describes a brave or confident manner, which is nonsensical when describing the state of food.

Annually: This is an adverb of frequency (meaning once a year) and does not logically describe the quality of a meal.
