1. The correct answer is c) both. Both words "very" and "absolutely" can be used to describe the intensity of the holiday in Brazil. "Very" and "absolutely" are both adverbs used to modify the adjective "boiling". "Very" is a common adverb used to emphasize the degree or intensity of something, while "absolutely" is a stronger adverb that expresses a higher degree or intensity.

2. The correct answer is a) very. The word "enormous" is an adjective that describes the size of their house. The adverb "very" is used to intensify this description and emphasize that the house is extremely big.

3. The correct answer is b) absolutely. The word "funny" is an adjective that describes the film. The adverb "absolutely" is used to intensify this description and emphasize that the film was extremely amusing or entertaining.

4. The correct answer is b) really. The word "cold" is an adjective that describes the temperature outside. The adverb "really" is used to intensify this description and emphasize that the temperature is significantly low.

5. The correct answer is a) very. The word "fascinating" is an adjective that describes the idea of time travel. The adverb "very" is used to intensify this description and emphasize that the idea is extremely interesting or captivating.

6. The correct answer is c) both. Both words "very" and "really" can be used to describe the quality of her paintings. "Very" and "really" are both adverbs used to modify the adjective "good". Both adverbs intensify the quality of the paintings and emphasize that they are of high standard or impressive.
