Zorluk: OrtaAdjectives, Adverbs, and Modifiers

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate adverb to complete the sentence below correctly.

Cevap:Although the dissertation was lengthy and contained complex technical terminology, the review board found its core thesis 【remarkably】 convincing.

Cevap

The blank is correctly filled by an adverb of degree such as 'remarkably', 'exceptionally', 'highly', 'exceedingly', or 'thoroughly'.
The sentence requires an adverb of degree to modify the participial adjective 'convincing'. Adverbs such as 'remarkably', 'exceptionally', 'highly', 'exceedingly', or 'thoroughly' correctly fulfill this modifying function while preserving the logical contrast introduced by the opening conjunction 'Although'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the sentence structure to determine the part of speech required for the blank.
The word following the blank is 'convincing', which serves as a predicate adjective modifying 'core thesis'.
A word modifying an adjective must function as an adverb.
2
Select a grammatically and contextually accurate modifier of degree.
Adverbs of degree like 'remarkably', 'exceptionally', or 'highly' intensify the adjective 'convincing' and contrast logically with the complexity mentioned in the concessive clause.
Adverbs ending in '-ly' that express degree properly intensify adjectives without creating modifier confusion or concord errors.
