If you say something with additional emphasis you ______________.
 Complete the sentence with the most suitable option.
A) Assure
B) Declare
C) Proclaim
D) Affirm

Answer 1

Hint: Read the sentence then understand which verb is suitable for the sentence. The verb stuffed ought to be grammatically correct when used in the given sentence.. Ensure the word opted is acceptable for that specific sentence. Choose the one which fits the context of the sentence.

Complete answer:
A word that expresses action or state of being is called a verb. There are mainly three types of verbs that are action verbs, linking verbs, and helping verbs. Sentence is a set of words that is complete in itself, typically containing a subject and predicate, conveying a statement, question, exclamation, or command, and consisting of a main clause and sometimes one or more subordinate clauses.

Now, let’s analyse the given options:
Option A) Assure :- “If you say something with additional emphasis you assure.” It means to tell something to someone positively to dispel any doubts. It is not correct as the word is grammatically incorrect when used here.
Option B) Declare :- “If you say something with additional emphasis you declare.” It means to announce something. It is not correct as the word is grammatically incorrect when used here.
Option C) Proclaim :- “If you say something with additional emphasis you proclaim.” It means to declare publicly. It is not correct as the word is grammatically incorrect when used here.
Option D) Affirm :- “If you say something with additional emphasis you affirm.” It means to state something clearly or emphatically. It is correct as the word is grammatically correct when used here. Affirm is the verb that is defined in the main clause of the given sentence.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: The main clause is the definition of the verb in the second subordinate clause. Lookin at the definition of the verb we understand that it is a word used to describe an action, or occurrence and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence.
In many languages it is used to encode tenses, aspect, mood, and voice.
Rules related to the usage of verb are:
-If the subject is singular then the verb must be singular too.
-If the subject is plural then the verb must also be plural.
