Question

Choose the grammatically correct sentence.

Adam didn't know why, but he was always high interested in learning how to square dance.

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The adverb form "highly" is required because "interested" is an adjective and needs an adverb to express degree.

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Parts of speech: adjectives (modify nouns) vs. adverbs (modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs).
- Predicate adjective: "interested" describes the subject ("he") and functions as an adjective in the predicate.
- Degree modification: adjectives are modified by adverbs (e.g., "very interested," "deeply interested," "highly interested"), not by other adjectives.

2. Step-by-step reasoning
- Original phrase: "he was always high interested"
- Identify "interested": here it describes Adam's state — it is an adjective.
- Identify "high": in the original sentence it appears attempting to modify the adjective "interested." But "high" is primarily an adjective, not an adverb that normally modifies another adjective.
- To correctly modify an adjective, use an adverb form: add the -ly ending to make "high" → "highly."

3. Intermediate transformations
- Start: he was always high interested
- Change modifier to adverb: he was always highly interested
- The rest of the sentence ("Adam didn't know why, but he was always ... in learning how to square dance.") is grammatically correct and needs no other change.

4. Why the correct answer is correct
- "Highly" properly modifies the adjective "interested" to express degree. The collocation "highly interested" is idiomatic English meaning "very interested." The sentence becomes grammatical and natural: "Adam didn't know why, but he was always highly interested in learning how to square dance."

5. Why other options are incorrect
- The original "high interested" is ungrammatical because an adjective ("high") is being used to modify another adjective ("interested"). (No other options were provided; alternative correct forms would be "very interested" or "deeply interested," but those are not the given choice.)

6. Conclusion
The correct sentence is "Adam didn't know why, but he was always highly interested in learning how to square dance." This matches the provided answer.

Choose the grammatically correct sentence. Adam didn't know why, but he was always high interested in learning how to square dance.单项选择题
