SSC Stenographer 2024 PYQ — Question 18

SSC Stenographer - 10/12/2024 (12:30 PM to 2:30 PM) • English • Q18

Select the most appropriate adverb to fill in the blank.
He is good _________ for the job.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 'enough'.

Let’s examine what fits best both grammatically and in meaning.

The adjective 'good' is being modified by an adverb to show sufficiency for the job.

The adverb 'enough' is used after adjectives to mean sufficiently or to the required degree.

So,
'He is good enough for the job.'
means he meets the necessary standards.

Why the other options are incorrect:
Partly – Means 'in part, not completely.'
  Doesn't make sense in this context.

Rather – Means 'somewhat' or 'fairly.'
  “He is rather good for the job” is grammatically okay but does not complete the given sentence with the intended meaning of          adequacy.

Altogether – Means 'completely' or 'entirely.'
   Doesn’t fit with “good” in this structure.
