Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
I am _________ busy.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. quite.
The sentence is: 'I am _________ busy.'
Let’s look at the meanings and uses of each option:
few
'Few' is used with countable nouns (e.g., few books, few people). It cannot describe the degree of being busy.
tidily
'Tidily' is an adverb meaning 'neatly.' It doesn't fit the context of being busy.
quite
'Quite' is an adverb that means 'fairly' or 'very,' and is correctly used to modify adjectives like 'busy.'
So, “I am quite busy” means “I am fairly/very busy.”
quiet
'Quiet' is an adjective meaning 'silent' or 'not noisy.' It sounds similar to 'quite' but is incorrect in this context.
