a) good, really
b) well, real
c) good, real
d) well, really
Answer D
Yes, D.
Well, the best word combination for the underlined words in the sentence would be "well, really." Because Katrina's performance was done in a skillful manner, we would use "well" to describe how she sang. As for the judges, they were very harsh in their judgment, so "really" would be an appropriate word to use here.
In the sentence "Katrina sang her song so good at the contest that she should have won, but the judges were real harsh," the best word combination for the underlined words is "well, really."
To choose the correct word combination, we need to consider the parts of speech and the correct usage of adjectives and adverbs. In the given sentence, we have "Katrina sang her song." The word "sang" is a verb, and "her song" is the direct object. The word "good" describes how Katrina sang, which is an adverbial phrase modifying the verb "sang." Therefore, we need to use the adverb form, not the adjective form, which means we should choose "well" instead of "good."
Similarly, when describing the judges' harshness, we need to use an adverb. "Real" is an adjective, so we should choose the adverb alternative, "really."
Combining the correct adverbs, we can see that the best word combination for the underlined words in the sentence is "well, really." Thus, the answer is D.
