Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. obviously.
The word "obviously" is an adverb that means in a clear, noticeable, or evident manner. In the context of the sentence, it indicates that the speaker easily noticed that the room was built later than the rest of the house.
-
"Obliviously" is an adverb that means in a manner that shows a lack of awareness or attention, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
-
"Obliviousness" is a noun that refers to the state of being unaware or ignorant, which cannot be used to modify a verb.
-
"Obviousness" is a noun that refers to the state of being clear or easily noticed, which is not the correct form of the word to use as an adverb.
Thus, the correct sentence is:
He led me to the room that had obviously been built later than the rest of the house.
