Question

______ did you manage to start the car? I couldn't.

• A. whatever
• B. however
• C. whichever
• D. wherever

Answer 1

Answer:

B. however

• Emphasis: In this context, "however" is used as an emphatic form of "how" to express surprise or disbelief.

• Meaning: It means "in what possible way" or "by what means" did you manage to do something that seemed impossible to the speaker.

• Why others are incorrect:

  • Whatever asks about "what thing".

  • Whichever asks about a choice between specific options.

  • Wherever asks about "what place".
