Question

make this text more descriptive.
cynthia swerved the car to the right to avoid a pothole. \why are these roads so terrible?\ she said.
which word should be added at the arrow?
jacket
talking
swiftly
magenta

Explanation:

To make the text more descriptive, we need an adverb to modify the verb "avoid". "Swiftly" is an adverb meaning quickly, which fits to describe how Cynthia avoided the pothole. "Jacket" is a noun, "talking" is a verb (gerund) and doesn't fit here, "magenta" is a color noun, so they are irrelevant.

Answer:

C. swiftly
