Could you teach me which is correct, (a) or (b)? (This is a quiz at a school in Japan.) (a) The firefighter was much injured in the fire. (b) The firefighter was very injured in the fire.
I myself feel ‘badly’, ‘seriously’ or ‘severely’ is much more natural than ‘much’ or ‘very.’

I agree with you. Neither much nor very works for me.
