answer explanation: 

<p>All papers for this course must be written <strong>expressly</strong> for this course; students are not permitted to turn in work completed for any other class.</p><div data-answer="c"><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">The correct answer is </span><strong style="font-size: 13.008px;">C) expressly</strong><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">.</span><br></div>

<p>In this sentence, the word "expressly" is used as an adverb to modify the verb "written." The adverb "expressly" means specifically or exclusively. It emphasizes that the papers must be written only for this course and not for any other class.</p>

<p>The other options do not fit the sentence:</p>

<p>(A) "expressing" is a present participle and does not match the tense or form of the verb "written."</p>
<p>(B) "expresses" is a present tense verb and does not match the tense or form of the verb "written."</p>
<p>(D) "expressive" is an adjective and does not fit the sentence structure or meaning.</p>
