Use the adjective provided in the bracket in appropriate position and mark your answer in the response sheet.

She found books to be her only source of happiness (rare).

  • A.She rarely found books to be her only source of happiness.
  • B.She found books rarely to be her only source of happiness.
  • C.She found rare books to be her only source of happiness.
  • D.She found books to be rarely her only source of happiness.

Answer: C

The correct sentence is She found rare books to be her only source of happiness.

The word given in brackets is rare, an adjective. An adjective qualifies a noun and normally stands just before it, so the only place it can go is before books, giving rare books.

The other three options do not use the adjective at all: they turn it into the adverb rarely and attach it to the verb. That ignores the instruction and changes the meaning, from what kind of books she loved to how often she found happiness in books.
