Trích:
All the other people at the party had gathered together in small groups, having the time of their life, and only she was left standing ..........
(a) single
(b) removed
(c) lonely

The correct answer is (d) alone
Why ?

The word lonely can only be used as an adjective.
The word alone can be used as either an adjective or an adverb
