Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The sentence asks for a phrase describing Khan's willingness to help.
The word "kind" is an adjective that describes Khan. The word "enough" can act as an adverb that modifies an adjective; when it does so, it follows the adjective.
Because "enough" modifies the adjective "kind," the correct order is "kind enough."
Examples:
He has been kind enough to help me.
She was kind enough to lend me her notes.
Incorrect alternatives and why they do not work:
"kinder enough" is wrong because "kinder" is the comparative form and cannot be paired with "enough" in this structure.
"kindly enough" is awkward because "kindly" is an adverb; the sentence needs an adjective followed by "enough."
"enough kindly" has the wrong word order; when "enough" modifies an adjective it follows the adjective.
Therefore, the correct phrase to complete the sentence is "kind enough."
