Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer:
She had a terrific time at the party
Explanation:
"Enjoyed herself immensely" means she had a very enjoyable or wonderful time.
"She had a terrific time at the party" also means she had a wonderful/very enjoyable time, so it matches the original sentence.
"She had a terrible time at the party" and "She had a horrible time at the party" describe very bad or unpleasant experiences, the opposite of enjoying oneself.
"She had a terrifying time at the party" indicates the experience caused fear, which does not match enjoying oneself.
Note: In modern everyday usage, "terrific" commonly means excellent or very enjoyable; although historically it could mean causing terror, that meaning is not intended here.
