Question

Form the adverb of the following word:
Ready
A) readiful
B) readifully
C) readily
D) readilily

Answer 1

Hint: A word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence is called an adverb (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella). While many adverbs end in -ly, some (such as fast) have the same appearance as their adjective equivalents.

Complete answer:
A word or phrase that modifies a noun, adjective, another adverb, determiner, clause, preposition, or sentence is referred to as an adverb. Adverbs are used to express things like manner, location, time, frequency, degree, and level of certainty.
Now, let us look at the given options:
A) readiful: This option is incorrect because this word does not have any meaning.
B) readifully: This option is incorrect because there is no such was as ‘readifully’ in English language.
C) readily: This is the correct option. Adjectives that end in y and are preceded by a consonant, such as "ready," where 'y' is preceded by the consonant 'd,' then 'y' is omitted and I along with the suffix 'ly,' are inserted thus forming an adverb. The suffix -ly is used in many adverbs that are constructed from adjectives.
D) readilily: This option is incorrect because no such was as ‘readilily’ in English language.

Thus, the correct answer is Option ‘C’ i.e, Readily.

Note:
- Many adverbs end in -ly, but not all of them do. If a word can be formed into an adverb by adding -ly to its adjective form, do so.
- Adverbs that address the question can sometimes lead to grammatical issues. Determining whether or not to use -ly can be difficult. When using connecting verbs, avoid the -ly pit.
