Question

Open the window, will you? It's _________ boiling in here. Choose the correct intensifier from the options given below.
A) Quite
B) Totally
C) Very
D) Really

Answer 1

Hint: Adverbs are terms that typically alter, that is, restrict or limit the meaning of verbs. They can even modify adjectives, other adverbs, words, or even entire sentences. The adjective being used here is boiling. Now, we need to use the correct adverb to show the right degree for this adjective.

Complete answer:
Open the window , will you ? it's _____ boiling here .
This sentence is in present continuous tense as the room is still boiling, we need to find the degree by which it's boiling. Correct adverbs will be used to fill in the blank as adverbs are words that describe the degree of something.

Lets see options :
Option A : “quite” : quite is a non-gradable adverb which usually means very totally but it wont tell us how heated room is thus using ‘quite’ wont make our sentence correct thus this option is wrong.

Option B : “totally” : totally often means completely ,wholly but it wont tell us how much room is boiling so using ‘totally’ wont give us meaningful sentences thus this option is wrong too.

Option C : “very” : very is used to describe something as great degree or to give superlative some emphasis but it wont tell us how much room is boiling so using ‘very’ wont give us meaningful sentence thus this option is wrong too

Option D : “really” : really is used when we want to show how much something is in reality, to show emphasis so using really will give us meaningful sentences thus this is the correct answer.

Therefore option D is the correct answer.

Note:
i) To identify nouns and pronouns, we use adjectives. Before nouns or after linking verbs, adjectives may come
ii) For the identification of verbs, adjectives or other adverbs, adverbs are used. By adding 'ly' to the adjective, they are sometimes (but not always) made.
