Question : A sentence has been given with a blank to be filled with an appropriate word. Choose the correct alternative.
She will go office ______in the morning..
Option 1: lately
Option 2: late
Option 3: later
Option 4: latest
Correct Answer:
late
Solution : The correct answer is option 2.
Explanation:
- To modify the verb "go" in the sentence, we have to fill in the blank with an adverb.
- The adverb of time late is used. Adverbs of time describe the timing of an event as well as how frequently, for how long, and for how long.
- Let's investigate the choices available:
- The word "lately" is an adverb that denotes recently or not long ago.
An adverb denoting after the anticipated, appropriate, or customary time is late.
The adverb "later" denotes a future event that will occur soon or soon after.
The word "latest" is an adjective that denotes the most recent date.
Consequently, the right response is late.
