Cevap

The correct option is 'thoroughly' because it is the adverbial form needed to modify the verb 'tested'.
The correct option is 'thoroughly' because it is an adverb, which is required to modify the verb 'tested'. Adverbs answer the question of how an action was performed, so 'tested thoroughly' is the grammatically correct phrasing.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the word being modified in the sentence.
The underlined word 'thorough' is positioned to modify the verb 'tested'.
Understanding what word is being modified determines whether an adjective or an adverb is required.
2
Determine the correct part of speech needed.
Since verbs must be modified by adverbs rather than adjectives, the adjective 'thorough' must be changed to its adverb form.
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, while adjectives modify nouns.
3
Select the option that provides the correct adverbial form.
The adverb form of 'thorough' is 'thoroughly'.
Choosing 'thoroughly' correctly completes the sentence with proper grammatical usage.
