Do you think it would be better to replace 'very' with some other adverb, like 'quite', 'absolutely', etc. |
Hi, Clark!
I totally agree with you! 'Very ready' is irritating to my ear!
But, given the choices from Newbie, 'very ready' seems like the best answer for the assignment. I personally would just say "The doctors are ready to provide patients with medicine."
Cheers,
