Question

Which form of the word specific would be best used in the sentence below? Instructions for creating something this complicated require a high degree of _________ to ensure users can complete the project.

a. specific
b. specification
c. specificity
d. specify

Answer 1

B. Specification

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the sentence "a high degree of specific" doesn't sound correct it is not the correct word placement, not the correct connotation for the sentence. If you where to say "a high degree of specification" the words just tend to flow and it is the right connotation for the word structure in the sentence.

Answer 2

The correct answer is a.: specific.

This structure (this +adj) requires an adjective and the only adjective is in a., the other options are verbs or nouns and are not correct.
