Answer 1

1) hardly
2)highly
3)late
4)wrong

Answer 2

1) "Think (hard/hardly) before you give your answer." The correct word choice in this sentence is "hard." The phrase "think hard" means to think deeply or carefully about something. On the other hand, "hardly" means almost not at all or barely, which would not make sense in this context.

2) "Can you see that plane flying (high/highly) above us?" The correct word choice in this sentence is "high." "High" is used as an adjective to describe the altitude or height of the plane. "Highly" is an adverb that is used to modify a verb, adjective, or other adverbs. In this context, we are describing the plane, so "high" is the appropriate choice.

3) "I got the phone call only (late/lately) at night." The correct word choice in this sentence is "late." "Late" refers to the time being later than expected or desired. "Lately" means recently or within a short period of time, which would not fit in this context.

4) "Tom was (wrong/wrongly) believed to be a thief." The correct word choice in this sentence is "wrongly." "Wrongly" is an adverb that describes the belief as being incorrect or mistaken. On the other hand, "wrong" is an adjective that describes something as incorrect or not right. In this context, we are describing the belief, so "wrongly" is the appropriate choice.
