四選一
Several employees said the new chairs were extremely ____.
看答案
uncomfortable
were 後需要形容詞描述椅子，且由 extremely 修飾，因此選 uncomfortable。uncomfortably 是副詞，不能單獨作此處的補語；discomfort 和 discomforts 作名詞或動詞時，都無法放入這個結構。
同義改寫
The new office chairs are uncomfortable to sit on. → The new office chairs cause physical discomfort when people sit on them.
兩句都表示新辦公椅讓坐在上面的人感到身體不適。
An uncomfortable silence followed the manager's criticism of the team. → An awkward silence followed the manager's criticism of the team.
此處 uncomfortable 描述社交上的尷尬，換成 awkward 可保留原意。
