Fill in the blank with the appropriate adverb.

We find him ______ intelligent.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer

very

Explanation

"Very" is an adverb of degree used directly before positive-degree adjectives (like intelligent, good, or beautiful) to intensify their meaning.

"Too" carries a negative connotation implying "excessive/more than desirable" and is usually followed by a to + verb pattern (e.g., too intelligent to be fooled).

"Much" modifies comparative-degree adjectives (e.g., much more intelligent), not positive degrees.

"Almost" means nearly, which changes the intended factual statement of finding him completely intelligent.
