Q:
Could you tell me if it's correct? I’m not sure if the intensifiers were used correctly because I read that for extreme adjectives I can only use some intensifiers or not necessarily?
1] This book is extremely/ incredibly/really/quite/very interesting
2] This book is absolutely/really/quite/ fascinating
1] This book is extremely/ incredibly/really/quite/very interesting
2] This book is absolutely/really/quite/ fascinating
