Improve the underlined part of the sentence. Choose 'No improvement' as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct.
The flowers have a very strongly scent.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. very strong.
The correct improvement for the sentence is "very strong." The complete sentence should read: "The flowers have a very strong scent."
The adjective "strong" is used to describe the noun "scent." "Very" is an adverb that modifies the adjective "strong," indicating the degree of intensity.
The other options are not grammatically correct:
"Very stronger" is incorrect because "stronger" is the comparative form and should not be used with "very."
"Very strongest" is incorrect because "strongest" is the superlative form and should not be preceded by "very."
