These rooms are ( ) for executives.
(A)exclusive
(B)excluding
(C)exclusively
(D)exclusion
My textbook says the correct answer is (C)
But, I think (A)is the correct.
What do you think of it?

(C) is correct as �exclusively� is the adverb that qualifies the verb �are�. �Exclusive� (Ans. (A)) is an ajective which you can�t use to modify the verb.
You can place (A) before �rooms� so that the sentence reads correctly as �These exclusive rooms are for executives.� The meaning changes of course. |
