Which of the following sentences is correct?
a) I did the homework complete by myself.
b) I did the homework to completely by myself.
c) I did the homework completely by myself.
d) I did the homework completed by myself.

Answer 1

Hint: Both completed and completely have a different meaning. Completed refers to something that has been finished or concluded. Completely refers to totally or entirely.
Complete step by step answer:
As given in the hint, both the given words have different meanings.
Let’s look at the usage of ‘completed and completely’-
1) Completed- Example: I have completed my work. Here, we can understand that X’s work has been finished.
2) Completely- Example: The park was completely empty. Here, we can understand that the park was entirely or totally empty.
In the given question: X is trying to conclude that he did the homework entirely by himself.
Now, let’s examine the given options:
a) I did the homework complete by myself- The tense of the main verb is in present tense. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
b) I did the homework to completely by myself- The ‘to-infinitive’ functions with verbs of thinking and feeling. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
c) I did the homework completely by myself- The given statement expresses an accurate meaning. Hence, it is the correct option.
d) I did the homework completed by myself- Both the main verb and the auxiliary verb are in the past tense form of the verb. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
The correct answer is Option ‘c’.
Note: It is important to focus on the formation and the construction of a sentence, while maintaining the tense of the sentence.
