The bananas weren't.............ripe enough to use today
A
almost
B
scarcely
C
nearly
D
hardly
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
“Nearly” fits well with “weren’t” to express that the bananas were not quite ripe enough, which matches the intended meaning. So the completed sentence is: "The bananas weren’t nearly ripe enough to use today."
“Almost” is typically used in affirmative statements (e.g., The bananas are almost ripe), but in negative statements, it can sound awkward or ambiguous. “Scarcely” means “barely” or “only just,” and is usually used in a slightly different context. It also sounds awkward with “weren’t” (double negation). “Hardly” also implies “barely,” but like “scarcely,” when used with a negative verb like “weren’t,” it becomes a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect in standard English.

I'm sorry I can't find..........of the two books you lent me.
A
neither
B
each
C
either
D
any
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The sentence should read: "I'm sorry I can't find either of the two books you lent me." This is because "either" is used when referring to one of two items. "Neither" is used when referring to none of the two items. If you say "I can't find neither of the two books," it creates a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect. "Any" is used when referring to more than two items. Since the sentence mentions "two books," "any" would not be the most appropriate choice. The correct usage would be "I can't find either of the two books."
