Answer

The answer is "The house looked ordinary except for the door, which was unusually large."

Explanation
Option 1: The house looked ordinary except for the door, which was unusual large.
  • "Unusual large" is incorrect because "unusual" is an adjective and should modify a noun, not another adjective. The correct form should be "unusually large."
Option 2: The house looked ordinarily except for the door, which was unusually large.
  • "Ordinarily" is an adverb and should modify a verb, adjective, or other adverb. In this context, "ordinary" is needed to describe the house, which is a noun.
Option 3: The house looked ordinarily except for the door, which was unusual large.
  • This option contains two errors: "ordinarily" should be "ordinary" to correctly describe the house, and "unusual large" should be "unusually large."
Option 4: The house looked ordinary except for the door, which was unusually large.
  • This option correctly uses "ordinary" to describe the house and "unusually large" to describe the door, making it the correct choice.
