(ESCOLA NAVAL/MB) - QUESTÃO

Read the sentences below.

I- People shouldn't drive so ____.

II- I need to see a doctor because I haven't been feeling well _____.

III- Although she's tried _______ to find a new job, she's still unemployed.

Which option completes the sentences correctly?

Ⓐ fast/ late / hardly

Ⓑ quickly/ late / hardly

Ⓒ quick / late / hard

Ⓓ fast/ lately / hard

Ⓔ quickly/ lately / hardly

Analyzing we have:

I- People shouldn't drive so ____

• Here, we need an adverb modifying the verb "drive."

• Options: "fast" (can be adverb), "quickly" (adverb), "quick" (adjective, not correct). Both "fast" and "quickly" can work, but "fast" is more natural in this context: drive so fast.

II- I need to see a doctor because I haven't been feeling well ____

• This refers to a recent period of time, so "lately" (recently) is the correct adverb.

• "Late" is incorrect because it refers to time of day or being behind schedule.

III- Although she's tried _______ to find a new job, she's still unemployed

• Here, we need an adverb describing the effort: "hard" or "hardly"?

• "Hard" = with effort → correct.

• "Hardly" = barely → would change the meaning.

- Putting it together:

• I: fast

• II: lately

• III: hard
