Which of the following sentences does not have an 'adverb + adjective' combination ?

Question

Accepted Answer

Option 3 is the correct answer because it does not contain an 'adverb + adjective' combination. In the sentence "Look at Sahil's car. It's been completely destroyed," "completely" is an adverb modifying the past participle "destroyed," which functions as a verb in this context, not an adjective. Past participles can sometimes act as adjectives, but here, "destroyed" describes the action that happened to the car, not a quality of the car itself.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

*   **Option 1:** "Alexa thought the new cafe would be cheap, but it is **extremely expensive**." Here, "extremely" is an adverb modifying the adjective "expensive."

*   **Option 2:** "My friend's brother was injured in an accident and the police were **incredibly helpful**." Here, "incredibly" is an adverb modifying the adjective "helpful."

*   **Option 4:** "The room had been painted in a strange way. The walls were **unusually flamboyant**." Here, "unusually" is an adverb modifying the adjective "flamboyant."

Therefore, only Option 3 lacks the 'adverb + adjective' combination, making it the correct answer.
