Ramya is working / hardly / to get good marks.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. hardly.
- The word "hardly" means "barely" or "with difficulty," which contradicts the intended meaning in the sentence.
- If Ramya is "hardly working," it implies she is putting in very little effort, which is the opposite of what is meant here.
- The correct word, "hard," means "with a lot of effort." Thus, "Ramya is working hard to get good marks" accurately conveys that she is putting in effort to achieve good results.
