Question

The author’s intent is ____ demonstrated in the following paragraph. a. vastly c. thoroughly b. heavily d. thickly

Answer 1

C. thoroughly is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

C. Thoroughly

Explanation:

The sentence says "the author's intent is..." and we require an adverb to fulfil the blank because adverbs modify verbs and the word "demostrated" is a verb. The best option is the adverb "thoroughly" which means completely. So the sentence would be "The author's intent is thoroughly demostrated in the following paragraph."
