Question

Which of the following sentences is correct?
(a)I rarely use the internet.
(b)I rarity use the internet.
(c)I use the internet rare.
(d)The internet is used rare by me.

Answer 1

Hint: The sentence needs the correct adverb. Keep in mind that the placement of the adverb changes with the change in the active and passive voice. The word should also be grammatically correct.

Complete answer:
In every option, the placement and the part of speech, itself, changes. This means that every sentence is different. The part of speech that is required is an adverb. The placement of the adverb will change according to the kind of sentence. Three options are in active voice and one option is in the passive voice.

An adverb may be a word or an expression that modifies a verb, adjective, another adverb, determiner, clause, preposition, or sentence. Adverbs typically express manner, place, time, frequency, degree, level of certainty, etc.
Now, we know what we need. Let’s look at the given options:
(a)I rarely use the internet. - This sentence is constructed correctly and it is grammatically correct. The word ‘rarely’ is an adverb. This sentence is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.
(b)I rarity use the internet. - This sentence is not constructed correctly and it is grammatically incorrect. The word ‘rarity’ is not an adverb, it is a noun. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
(c)I use the internet rare. - This sentence is not constructed correctly and it is grammatically incorrect. The word ‘rare’ is not an adverb, it is an adjective. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
(d)The internet is used rare by me. - This sentence is not constructed correctly and it is grammatically incorrect. The word ‘rare’ is not an adverb, it is an adjective. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.

Note: There is a different part of speech in each sentence which we need to identify. When choosing the answer, make sure the answer is placed correctly in the sentence. Subject: English
