Question

Her dress was ______________ .

• A. ready nearly
• B. nearly
• C. nearly ready
• D. ready

Answer 1

Answer:

C. nearly ready

• "nearly ready": Correct word order, where "nearly" is an adverb modifying the adjective "ready."
• "ready nearly": Incorrect word order; "nearly" should precede "ready."
• "nearly": Incomplete; does not provide enough information about the state of the dress.
• "ready": Lacks the adverb "nearly" that describes the degree to which the dress is ready.
