D. A little

Answer 1

Hint: Adjectives are words that describe a noun or a pronoun. For example: brave, sweet, bright and etc.

Complete step by step answer:
Adverbs modify a verb, an adjective and sometimes another adverb in a sentence. Some adverbs, like adjectives, have three degrees of comparison.
Option A) More politely – is an incorrect option because when an adverb is ending in “ly” it forms the comparative by adding more and does not show the superlative degree of adverb. More politely is the comparative form of politely.Thus, this is not a correct answer.
Option B) Most politely- is the correct option because when an adverb is ending with “ly” it forms superlative by adding most. Most politely is the superlative form of politely. Thus, this is the correct option as it shows the superlative degree of adverb.
Option C) Politely – is not the correct option because in the statement it is asked to fill the blank with a superlative degree of adverb not the base adverb.
Option D) Politeliest – is the wrong option because the word Politeliest does not exists (comparative form of polite is politer or more polite; superlative form of polite is politest or most polite)
She greeted me most politely of all.

So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note:
In such questions it is very important to understand the degrees and their usage. Like in the above statement we have to fill the blank with the superlative degree of adverb then we have to understand how our adverb is ending (i.e if adverb is ending with ly then most is consider as superlative and if the adverb is of one syllable then, superlative if formed by adding est in the end).
