Which sentence uses 'clearly' as a sentence adverb?
A. He explained the concept clearly.
B. The stars are clearly visible tonight.
C. Clearly, the witness is lying.
D. Speak clearly into the microphone.
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In option B, 'Clearly' does not just modify a single verb but expresses the speaker's attitude towards the whole proposition, functioning as a sentence adverb.
Explanation:
While all options can be correct in specific contexts, 'We have one only book' is archaic/inverted. But among these, 'We have one only book' is the most unidiomatic and awkward placement. (Note: 'We have only one book' is standard).
Explanation:
'Faster' is already the comparative form. Using 'more' with it creates a double comparative, which is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrase is 'much faster' or simply 'faster'.
Explanation:
'Why' can introduce a relative clause modifying a noun (e.g., 'the reason why'). 'How' is primarily interrogative, 'whenever' is a conjunction/adverb, and 'somewhere' is an indefinite adverb.
