E. Preferred

Answer 1

Hint: In this particular question we have to use the adjective. Adjectives
are the set of words that are used to modify a noun or a pronoun.
Complete step by step answer:
The best option to be fit in the sentence so we have to identify the
adjectives in the option.
Option A) Favoured – is an incorrect option because the meaning of
favoured is preferred. However, favoured is an adjective but is the past
form of favour. The sentence state is in simple present form so we have
to give answers in simple form. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Favourite – is the correct answer because the term favourite is
used to describe the most cherished or loved person or thing. Thus, this is
in the simple present form. Thus, this is the appropriate answer.
Option C) Likely – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of likely is
probable and is used as an adjective. If something is likely, it is probably
going to happen. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Popular – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of
popular is favoured or preferred, liked and this option does not fit in the
sentence. However, popular is used as an adjective still cannot be used
because it does not provide the correct information in the sentence. Thus,
this is an incorrect answer.
Option E) Preferred – is an incorrect answer because as we know that the
meaning of preferred, popular, like are the same and does not fit in the
sentence completely. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
I am very fond of Graham Greene’s novels. He is my favourite modern
author.
Note: There are certain points that to be keep in mind while answering
the question (in adjective) and they are: first to understand that
adjectives are the describing words, adjectives comes before noun,
adjectives change the noun in some way (example: It is a red one). Thus
these are some points that can help in understanding the proper use and
correct use of adjectives.
