Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. good.

  • An adjective or adverb that does not make a comparison is said to be in the positive degree. It is just used to state the quality possessed by a particular noun or pronoun that acts as the subject in a sentence.
  • We use very before adverbs and adjectives to add emphasis.
  • The most appropriate adjective for the given blank is 'good' which is in positive degree.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. good.
