Question

Fill in the blanks with the appropriate option:
Undoubtedly English is the most __________ spoken language in the world today.
a) Perfectly
b) widely
c) greatly
d) beautifully
e) elaborately

Answer 1

Hint: The given words are very similar to each other so we have to find out which word is the most appropriate word to be used in the given sentence. We can see that we are taking the whole world into account so it must be something to do with words that encompass the whole world.

Complete answer:
 Option a is wrong because not everybody speaks perfect English. Perfectly means flawlessly and not everybody speaks flawless English.
Option b is the correct answer because English can be said to be the most widely spoken language as it is spoken in a lot of countries. The sentence includes the whole world so we can say that widely is the correct answer.
Option c is wrong because the usage of greatly does not make sense in the sentence.
Option d is wrong because it is not a very appropriate adjective to be used with a spoken language.
Option e is wrong because elaborately is inappropriate to be used in the sentence. Elaborately means encompassing a lot of details and complications.

Note:
It is important to have a very wide vocabulary to answer a lot of questions in the English language. Once you have a good vocabulary, it will be very easy to identify the differences between similar words and to correctly use a word in a sentence.
