Which adverb means for a particular reason, purpose, or objective?

• A. Averse to
• B. Impatient
• C. Specifically
• D. Acquisition

Answer: (C)

Specifically is the adverb that means doing something for a particular reason, purpose, or objective. It signals precision or a narrow scope, as in "The plan was designed specifically for retirees," which shows the exact purpose being targeted. The other options don’t fit because they’re not adverbs of purpose: "averse to" describes opposition and uses a descriptive phrase, not an adverb; "impatient" is an adjective describing a person; and "acquisition" is a noun referring to the act of obtaining something.
