d. 4
e. 5
ANSWER: 3
'Quite all' cannot be used together.
Either 'quite right' or 'all right' should be used.
The correct sentence should be: He said it was
quite right to reject the offer.
Difference between 'Quite' and 'Very''Quite' denotes 'perfectly, completely'. It cannot be used to replace 'very'.
Don't say: She is quite lovely. |
Say: She is very lovely. |
Don't say: He is quite handsome. |
Say: He is very handsome. |
Note: 'Quite' is used with positive degree as follows -
quite chilly, quite cool, quite warm, quite rift, quite wrong, quite alone, quite well. |
