The chef tasted the meat _________ before carefully serving it to hit special guest.
- A. cautious
- B. cautiously
- C. incautious
- D. incautiously
The correct answer is:
B. cautiously
Here’s why:
- The sentence describes the chef’s action of tasting the meat before serving it to the guest. This implies the chef wanted to ensure the quality and taste of the dish before presenting it to someone important.
- “Cautious” is an adjective describing a person, while “cautiously” is an adverb describing how an action is taken. Thus, “cautiously” is the appropriate choice to modify the verb “tasted” and explain the manner of tasting.
- “Incautious” and “incautiously” would imply the opposite, suggesting the chef lacked due care in tasting the food, which wouldn’t be a good situation for serving a special guest.
Therefore, “cautiously” best fits the context and accurately describes the chef’s careful attention to detail.
I hope this explanation helps!
